LEVELS OF MOTIVATION AND THE ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE OF SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS

EDUCATION

Motivation is a significantly important factor for academic learning and achievement. It plays a vital role in each of the students’ lives. The goal of this study was to determine the relationship between the levels of motivation and the academic performance of the Senior High School Students enrolled in Tupaz National High School. The quantitative-correlation methodology covers discussions that the researcher used to get the data about the study. To assess the level of self-motivation, respondents completed an adopted standardized questionnaire. Data were analyzed using correlational analysis. The findings of the study revealed that the students are highly motivated both intrinsically and extrinsically, however, the results showed a low academic achievement of the students. The importance of this study was to know the current level of motivation of the students and assist them in their needs in terms of their academics. The findings of the results illustrated that there was no significant relationship between these two variables. These findings suggest a complex interplay of factors influencing student achievement beyond motivation alone. Further research and interventions may be necessary to uncover additional variables impacting academic outcomes among Senior High School students. Understanding these dynamics can inform educators and policymakers in developing targeted strategies to enhance student motivation and ultimately improve academic success.
