Abstract
In education, as in other areas of life, motivation plays a key role in
achieving better results and higher goals. The goal of this paper is to
identify motivational factors of students that influence their attitudes towards
studying / learning and academic achievement. This research is based on
a survey questionnaire conducted in May and June 2019. The motivation
scale defined in the questionnaire includes 30 questions, 10 of which relate
to factors of intrinsic motivation and 20 to factors of extrinsic motivation.
The questionnaire was answered by 38 third and fourth year students at the
e-business department at the Faculty of Economics – Skopje, Ss. Cyril and
Methodius University. Initial results show several significant tendencies
among respondents regarding their attitudes towards motivational factors that
influence learning and their academic achievement. Namely, the results show
that career and qualifications (extrinsic factor), as well as self-exploration
and personal development (intrinsic factor) are strongest drivers among third
and fourth year students, opposite to the social pressure (extrinsic factor)
and rejection of alternative options (extrinsic factor) which were are with
lowest score. This research is a pilot study, which provides a basis for further
and deeper analysis, in order to better understand what factors influence
student motivation for studying / learning and their academic achievements,
which will contribute to improving the quality of the overall higher education
process. The results are important for the teaching staff as well in order to
adapt and improve the curricula and teaching methods applied.
