ABSTRACT

This research studies the relationship between motivational domains and academic

performances of nursing students at the University of Hail region, Kingdom of Saudi

Arabia. The Methodology is a descriptive cross-sectional study design, and it

considers a sample of 86 nursing students enrolled in BSC Nursing during the

academic year 2021-2022 at the University of Hail. Regression and correlation

analysis are obtained and the main results state that: A positive correlation is

established between the domains such as active learning strategies, learning values,

performance goal, learning environment stimulation, and self- regularity at 0.05

level of significance, while there is no correlation between the student grade and all

the motivational domains at 0.05 level. There was no correlation between the

student grade and the motivational domains.

Key Words: Academic Performance; Learning Motivational domains; Active learning

strategies; Learning values, Performance goal; Learning environment stimulation; self- regulatory.

INTRODUCTION

The quality of the educational process dost not depend only on the selection of courses, the

good presence of the teaching faculties, and the assessment methods, but on the way the

beneficiaries are guided, advised, and directed towards their goal of Education. Motivation is a

fundamental recipe for academic success. It involves internal and external factors that

stimulate desire and energy in people to be continually interested and committed to Education,

job, role, or subject, or to try to attain a goal (Artino 2012).

Students’ academic performance is affected by several factors, including motivation, which may

be easily ignored. motivational beliefs are essential to the academic achievement of students

because they help to determine the extent to which students will consider, value, put in the

effort, and show interest in the task (Worzi. A,2016) For example, self-efficacy influences how

learners feel, think, motivate themselves, and behave. There is a positive significant

relationship between academic motivation and academic achievement (Amrai K, 2011). It is

essential for nursing instructors to identify motivating factors for students to complete nursing

education programs and get positive results. Motivation is a crucial factor in effective nursing

performance, ( Hanifi ,2012) declared that nurses’ clinical competency is effective in motivating

nursing students. (Hsiao-Lin Tuana 2008). Motivation plays a key role in explaining behaviors,

predicting the effects of actions, and guiding behavior to achieve objectives. Motivation not only

promotes learning but also is an intermediate to learning; while students are motivated during

the learning process, everything will be paved well, relationships will run smoothly, stress will

decrease, and creativity and learning will be more open (Cook,2011)

Learners experience several types of motivation, such as intrinsic and extrinsic motivation (P.

Darvas and P. Darvas, 2015), as well as motivational orientations, such as instrumental and

integrative motivation (Sunshine B. Alos2015); goal-orientation, expectancy value, and

expectancy of success. Changes in the primary source of motivation and these orientations

influence the learning process.

The students' interest and commitments vary during their education. It is therefore interesting

to systematically study the students' own experiences of how motivated they felt.Learning is a

long-term process and learners are likely to experience changes in motivation throughout this

process (Shay M. Daily 2019). Achievement motivation is the motivation associated with the

expectancy of success and the perceived value of a task as well as ability, beliefs, and motivation

to perform tasks (Liele Soltanzadeh, 2013). As the perceived likelihood of success increases, the

perceived task value increases and consequently, the learner’s positive motivation increases

(Wlodkowski RJ, 2008). The development of competence beliefs, expectancies for success, and

achievement values from childhood through adolescence.

Mastery goals focus on learning for the sake of learning, whereas performance goals emphasize

high achievement (Kusurkar R. A.,2013). Mastery goals are associated with high perceived

ability, task analysis and planning, and the belief that effort improves one’s ability. On the other

hand, performance goals are associated with judgments about achieving, grades, or external

rewards (Rose S, 2011 & Sunshine B. Alos,2015)

Self-regulated learners have been shown to use a variety of strategies, have high self-efficacy,

and set goals for themselves. Self-regulated learners also monitor their own activities, evaluate

their performance, and experience reactions to evaluation outcomes.

Active learning requires students to do meaningful learning activities and think about what

they are doing (Liele Soltanzadeh, 2013)

Loss of confidence due to poor performance and unwillingness of students to adapt to the rigor

of the Educational program results in dropping out ( Abdelhamid Tayeb 2021)

Therefore, if a teacher is aware of the learner’s individual needs and motivations, then, the

teacher may use strategies to reduce learner-teacher conflicts in the classroom, which may

encourage more effective learning by addressing the specific needs of the learners and bring

out better academic performance

Objective of the study

To find the relationship between motivational domains and student’s academic performance.

Operational Definition of Key words

1.Academic Performance: It refers to the student success in educational activities in terms of

grades obtained.

2. Learning Motivational domains: refer to the students' behavior that makes him/herself

move towards their academic performance, which is measured by a questionnaire that includes

academic learning strategies, learning values, performance goal, Learning environment

stimulation and self-regulatory.

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

Research Design: A cross-sectional study design is used for this study

Sample and Sampling techniques : The target population consisted of all nursing students

who satisfied the inclusion criteria. A nursing students at Level 2-8 enrolled in an RN-BSN

program, attending regularly the lectures, who are able to read and write English and

voluntarily participate in the study are involved . Utilizing the statistical software G-Power

version 3.1.3 with the following input parameters (one tailed independent sample t-test, alpha

error probability = 0.05, power = 0.80 and effect size of 0.5), the estimated sample size needed

is 86 and the same number of samples are selected by Non-probability purposive sampling

technique.

Setting: The study was conducted in the College of Nursing at University of Hail.

Tool: A self-administered questionnaire SMTSL for Students’ motivation towards science

learning was adapted from Hsiao et al. (2008) and needed modification were made. Content

validity of the questionnaire was established by giving it to 5 experts from Medical Surgical

Nursing faculty. The questionnaire consists of 4 levels of agreement with scale measurement as

follows:

Degree Strongly Agree Agree disagree Strongly

disagree

Scale 4 3 2 1

The questionnaire includes: Section A: Subjects in the course and Grades. Section B:

Motivational domains survey Questionnaire with 30 items pertaining to Active learning

strategies ( 6 items ) , learning values ( 5 items ) , performance goal (4 items), learning

Environment stimulation ( 6 items) and self- regulatory ( 9 items ) was used. Each factor has

subset indicators which were given corresponding rating by the respondents using a Scale of 4

composed of 4 (strongly agree), 3 (agree) , 2 ( disagree ) and 1 ( strongly disagree ) Using

Cronbach Alpha, the said instrument was found to be reliable as indicated by the value of

0.769.

Data collection: All the participants were informed about the aim of the study and those who

were willing to take part in the study were included in the study.

All the students were asked to rate their answers. Each student was asked to complete a

questionnaire. The researcher was present and provided clarification to the students when

necessary. It took 15 minutes to fill out their answers.

Ethical Consideration: The study was carried out with the approval of the ethical committee

of the University of Hail. Permission was obtained from the Dean of the College of Nursing.

Informed consent was received from each participant, and they were assured that their

responses would be confidential.

To check the relation between every domain and students’ grades Pearson correlation

coefficient is used, Table (3) summarizes the results which are as follows:

• There are significant positive correlations among all the motivational domains at 0.05

level of significance. In other words, there is a positive relationship between the

directions of the students toward motivation domains (paired to paired).

• There is a significant positive correlation between the motivational domains and the

scale at 0.05level of significance.

• There is no significant correlation between students’ Grades and all the motivational

domains at 0.05 level of significance.

• There is no significant correlation between students’ Grades and the total score of

motivational domains at 0.05 level of significance. In other words, there is no

relationship between the grade of students and their directions toward motivation

domains.

DISCUSSION

Results of the study revealed that the majority of participants were studying Basic medical

surgical Nursing and all the participants are female students. Regarding the grades, most of

them were obtained by the students range from A+ ( 10.5 % ), A ( 11.6%), B+ (12.8%), B (20.9%

), C+ (17.5% ) and C ( 12.8 %). Around one fourth of the respondents (14 % ) had low grades.

It is supported by Keith Trigwell (1991), Fortier MS, (1995) that the academic achievement

motivation is the extent to which a learner is profiting from instruction in a given area of

learning(Lee-Hsieh,2003 ).In this study , there is no significant difference between the active

involvement in learning and understanding the value of learning. Consequently it leads to

teacher’s behavior that occupies a dominant position in the whole learning process, which

cannot provide students with a chance to enjoy learning by having active participation (Jeffrey

R. Albrecht 2018). Learning environment stimulation plays a vital role in active learning

process as the p value at 0.05 level. This is consistent with various studies over the years,

academic achievement motivation becomes extremely important for a student. Their academic

achievement motivation can be related to their Learning Environment Stimulation. (Hadi

Hassankhani, 2015).It is also observed that there is a significant difference between mean of

active learning strategies and mean of self – regulatory at p value 0.05 level. The self –

regulatory domain of learning consists of nine items and it refers to how the students

themselves can monitor, direct and manage the process of their own learning. So it significantly

linked with an individual’s feelings and beliefs of control over individual learning tasks .Table

3 shows the correlations among and between the motivational domains and grades .As can be

seen , almost all motivational domains are significantly correlated with each other . Links

between active learning strategies, learning values, performance goal, learning environment

Stimulation and self- regulatory are having significant positive correlations (Yoo MS, Son YJ,

Yoo IY,2006 ) But there is no significant correlation between motivational domains and

students grades in the subjects .

CONCLUSION

Learning environment stimulates active learning and it enhances self –regulatory and it is

significant . But obtaining grades does not have relationship with the motivational domains. It

is needed to increase the level of self-regulatory among nursing students to have high level of

achievement and obtain mastery in the nursing subjects.

RECOMMENDATIONS

Longitudinal studies to determine the effectiveness of motivational domains in teaching

program may be conducted with large number of sample.
