Effect of Nursing Students' Learning Motivation in Microbiology Lecture involved in Laboratory Based on the ARCS Model

TLDR: Based upon the above results, microbiology laboratory practice might be beneficial for the nursing students to motivate microbiology learning.

Abstract: The purpose of this study was tried to identify the effect of nursing students’ learning motivation in microbiology through microbiology laboratory practice based on the Keller’s ARCS model In order to achieve this research, this study was designed a quasi-experimental pre-post tests control group Experimental group received a microbiology theory and practice based on ARCS model and control group received microbiology theory only To identify the microbiology learning motivation effect to nursing student, we measured learning motivation by Keller’s ARCS model that consisted of attention, relevance, confidence, and satisfaction The major results of the experimental group showed significantly higher level of total learning motivation and all four subcategories compared to control group Based upon the above results, microbiology laboratory practice might be beneficial for the nursing students to motivate microbiology learning
