Research on Student Motivation of Higher Vocational College in Guangdong Province of China

Ning LIU, Cheok Mui Yee

Abstract


Student motivation is the direct cause and internal motivation that directly motivates students to learn, which dominates students’ learning behavior, indicating whether students want to learn, what they are willing to learn, and the level of students’ learning efforts. As the supporting force of China’s higher education, the comprehensive ability and literacy of students in higher vocational colleges is the necessary driving force for the country’s future development. With the continuous expansion of the scale of higher vocational education in our country, the expansion of higher vocational education allows more students to enjoy higher vocational education, but also brings questions from the society about the quality of it. Student performance is an evaluation of students’ academic performance, and it is also a comprehensive reflection of their ability and literacy acquired during their college years. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the influence and role of these five aspects on students motivation from the perspectives of self-efficacy, teacher-student relationship, teaching strategies, learning environment and academic performance.
