TL;DR: The authors examined whether there is any association between aspects of motivation and the self-reported use of learning strategies by student teachers in a teacher education course and found a positive relationship between the motivation variables and learning strategies.
Abstract: Motivation is an internal force that energizes a person into action and gives it direction. Students in institutes of higher education have to self-regulate their learning behavior and so take responsibility for their own learning. They have to make decisions in ways which help them to accomplish their learning tasks. The level of academic motivation may play an important role in the way they attend to these learning tasks. This study examined whether there is any association between aspects of motivation and the self-reported use of learning strategies by student teachers in a teacher education course. Some positive relationship was found between the motivation variables and learning strategies. For example students who were learning goal oriented reported using more complex and deep level processing strategies like elaboration, organization, critical thinking and metacognitive self-regulation than students who are achievement goal oriented. Some suggestions for motivating students are proposed.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examine research that has used the Self-Regulated Learning (SRL) theory to consider the broad question of how teachers support students' development and use of these learning processes.
Abstract: Empirical research has supported the long held assumption that individual differences exist in how students learn. Recent methodological advancements have allowed educational research to examine not only what students learn, but also how they learn. Research has found that active involvement in learning, including setting meaningful goals, selecting appropriate and task-specific strategies, monitoring motivational levels, and adapting based on feedback are all positively related to learning outcomes. How can teachers support students’ development and use of these learning processes? The goal of this paper is to examine research that has used the Self-Regulated Learning (SRL) theory to consider this broad question. Methodological advancements recently used in this field of research, various SRL theoretical frameworks guiding this research, and studies that empirically examined self-regulation with both preservice and inservice teachers are discussed. The paper concludes with the theoretical, methodological, and practical implications of the reviewed studies.

TL;DR: In this article, the mediating effect of middle school students' peer attachment on relation between self-esteem and intrinsic learning motivation was investigated. And the results of this study are as follows:
Abstract: The purpose of this study is to check mediating effect of middle school students' peer attachment on relation between self-esteem and intrinsic learning motivation. To this end, this study collected data by measuring the level of self-esteem, peer attachment, and intrinsic learning motivation for 457 male and female middle school students (225 male and 232 female students) located in S city, Jeollanam-do. The results of this study are as follows: The correlation between self-esteem, peer attachment and intrinsic learning motivation of middle school students was all significant. Self-esteem had a significant effect on peer attachment and intrinsic learning motivation, and peer attachment also had a significant effect on intrinsic learning motivation. Meanwhile, Peer attachment showed a partial mediating effect between self-esteem and intrinsic learning motivation. The mediating effect of peer attachment was different according to grade. Through this study, it was confirmed that the self-esteem of middle school students influences peer attachment, and that peer attachment influenced by self-esteem can influence intrinsic learning motivation. The implications and limitations of this study were also discussed. ■ keyword :∣Middle School Students∣Self-esteem∣Peer Attachment∣Intrinsic Learning Motivation∣ Mediating Effect∣ 접수일자 : 2020년 05월 04일 수정일자 : 2020년 06월 05일 심사완료일 : 2020년 06월 24일 교신저자 : 유계환, e-mail : espero33@naver.com 한국콘텐츠학회논문지 '20 Vol. 20 No. 7 264
