Research on the Relationships Among Learning Motivation, Learning Engagement, and Learning Effectiveness

This research mainly aims to explore the relationship between learning motivation and learning effectiveness and verify the mediating role of learning engagement in the relationship between learning motivation and learning effectiveness.Taking the undergraduates of Z University in China as the research object, this paper carried out an investigation through quantitative research, whose result reveals that the learning motivation (learning interest, self-development, professional needs, external expectations) has a significant positive effect on the learning effectiveness (learning level, response level, behavior level).In addition, to further verify the mediating effect of learning engagement in the relationship between learning motivation and learning effectiveness, this research adopted the bias-corrected bootstrap method to test the total effect, indirect effect, and direct effect respectively.The finding shows that learning engagement plays a partial mediating role in the relationship between learning motivation (intrinsic motivation, extrinsic motivation) and learning effectiveness (reaction level, learning level, and behavior level).
