This case study investigated the changes of four Korean English major college students’ motivation and interest in TOEIC studying based on qualitative research method. Semi-structured interviews were conducted once a month for six months. Interest is a unique motivational variable with affective and cognitive domains together including interactions between persons and their objects wheres motivation is more broad, psychological and overlapping concept compared with interest. The results showed that the participants expressed the strong instrumental and extrinsic motivation for TOEIC studying while they confessed the intrinsic motivation for English learning. However, some participants had both extrinsic and intrinsic motivation on TOEIC studying as time went by. The participants’ strong perceptions on TOEIC in Korea were strongly related with situational interest in TOEIC or TOEIC studying. The participants’ interest in TOEIC studying was triggered as they improved the TOEIC score. However, one participant showed the expiration of interest in TOEIC studying right after achieving a high TOEIC score, but his interest in potential English studying was triggered.

The purpose of this study was to explore how motivational factors affect Korean EFL secondary students’ motivated learning behavior using structural equation modeling (SEM). It further examined differences in the internal structure of L2 motivation over time. A total of 489 secondary school students participated in the study. Data were collected at two time points during an academic semester: in the beginning and at the end of the semester. Results of the SEM showed that students’ ideal L2 self was the strongest determinant of their motivated learning behavior at both time points for middle school students, whereas for high school students, ought-to L2 self had the strongest direct and significant impact on their motivated behavior in learning English throughout the semester. It was also found that both middle and high school students’ perceptions about the international posture of English and their parents’ involvement in English learning made indirect effects on their motivated behavior. Pedagogical implications and research suggestions are discussed.

The purpose of this study is to provide compared evidences on the definition and variables of intrinsic motivation of French and English learners. In spite of its prevalence and importance, intrinsic motivation in learning has been underestimated and ill-defined. This study highlights the limitations of contemporary studies and suggests implications for further research. In this article, studies on intrinsic motivation in learning are reviewed around two main issues: First, the types and characteristics of student’s motivation; then, the effects of extrinsic rewards on intrinsic motivation to learn. The findings showed that, set aside intrinsic values, all the variables for learning English are significantly higher than those for learning French. However, the results indicated that the intrinsic motivation for learning French is significantly higher than that for learning English.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to verify the effect of student-generated rubrics on learning motivation and academic achievement in simulation education. Methods: Student-generated rubrics was developed through the negotiation process between teacher and students, content validity has been verified. The participants were 122 undergraduate nursing students recruited from the one university in G city. The participants were given the simulation education for 15 weeks from 2011 to 2012. Experimental group were presented to student-generated rubrics before course starting was not presented to the control group. The data were analyzed by t-test with SPSS win 18.0 program. Results: Student-generated rubrics presented simulation education was to improve learning motivation and academic achievement. Conclusion: Student-generated rubrics with high reliability and validity in a number of areas to be developed and there is a need to be refined and ensure objectification of simulation education.

Purpose: This study was conducted to examine the effects of Clinical practice learning using a web-based e-book on nursing students' learning motivation, knowledge achievement and satisfaction with clinical practice. Methods: The participants in this study were 69 third-year nursing students (34 in the experimental and 35 in the control group) from a C-university in G-city, Korea, who were engaged in one-week clinical practicum in a gastroenterology ward. The data were analyzed by x²-test, Fisher's exact test, and t-test with the SPSS program 20.0. Results: After intervention, compared to the control group, the experimental group reported significant difference in Learning motivation (t=-3.61, p<.001), knowledge achievement(t=-2.92, p<.001), and satisfaction with clinical practice (t=-8.78, p<.001) in the training course using Mosby's nursing skills. Conclusion: These results identified that clinical practice learning using Mosby’s Nursing Skills was effective for the improvement of learning motivation, knowledge achievement and satisfaction with clinical practice. These results indicate that the implementation of an e-Learning needs to be continued as an effective educational tool. Also, it is needed to research more for better ways to implement e-Learning on students’ practicum.

주기 위해 실천적 추론 과정을 적용하는 실천적 문제중심수업을 강조한다. 그러나 교실에서 만나는 학생들은 가정 교과에 대한 필요성이나 흥미도가 매우 낮아 가정 교과를 유용하지 않은 과목으로 인식하였으며, 학습에 적극적이지 못하고 실생활에서의 실천도도 낮은 편으로 나타났다. 이에 학생들로 하여금 가정 교과에 대한 인식을 개선하고 학습 참여도와 실천적 태도를 신장시킬 목적으로 연구를 시작하였다. 우선 어떻게 하면 학생들의 학습참여를 높일 수 있을까 고민하였다. 수업은 재미있어야 한다. 재미있는 수업을 통하여 흥미도를 높이고, 가정과목에 대한 인식을 바꾸어 나가고자 하였다. 이를 위해 더욱 적극적인 동기부여를 주기 위하여 켈러의 동기이론을 적용한 실천적 문제중심수업을 구안·적용하였다. 실천적 문제는 다양한 학습자료의 제공으로 흥미를 느끼고 접근하게 하였으며, 소그룹 협동학습 모둠을 기반으로 한 토론 및 다양한 체험 활동 위주의 수업을 통해 실천적 추론을 용이하게 하였다. 연구 결과 학생들은 가정 교과에 대한 인식의 변화를 가져왔는데, 가정 교과는 재미있고, 유용한 과목이며 실생활에서도 실천적 태도가 향상되었다고 응답하였다. 또한, 실천적 문제중심수업은 사고력, 협동심, 문제해결력 향상에 효과적이며, 앞으로도 실천적 문제중심의 수업을 희망하였다.

Based on Vygotskian sociocultural theory, this study aims to investigate the longitudinal changes in English as a second language (ESL) learning, especially on motivation and learner beliefs for two recent Korean immigrants to Toronto. For 10 months, the researcher interviewed the two participants who shared similarities in age, previous work experiences, and perceived socio-economic status. Their comments were tape-recorded, transcribed, and analyzed by using NVivo, a qualitative data analysis software program. The findings indicate that Korean immigrants' ESL learning motivation was comprised of six constructs: job motivation, communicative need, heuristic motivation, context-specific motivation, self-satisfactory motivation, and demotivation/amotivation. Despite the two participants' external similarities, their monthly changes in ESL learning motivation showed drastic differences. An L2 learner belief of the positive relation between English proficiency and increased job opportunity was identified as a major explanatory factor for this difference between the two participants. This study suggests that L2 learner's beliefs may function as mediational tools from the perspective of sociocultural theory, with the learner's belief influencing job motivation.

본 연구는 ARCS의 학습동기모델 전략(주의집중, 관련성, 자신감, 만족감)을 중학교 환경교과서의 [환경보존]단원에 적용하기 위하여 다른 수업 방식과 비교한 것이다. 이를 위하여 부산광역시에 소재하는 중학교 2학년 135명에게 적용하기 위하여 학생들을 수업전략에 따라서 그룹으로 나누었다. 첫 번째 그룹은 전통주의 방식에 의한 수업을 받는 학생들로 구성되어 있었으며, 두 번째는 구성주의 수업방식을 받는 학생, 세 번째는 ARCS전략을 사용한 구성주의 수업

본 연구는 협동학습에서 소집단 경쟁을 유도하는 집단보상과 소집단 구성원의 결속을 강조하는 협동기술 훈련의 효과를 비교하기 위하여 시도되었다. 이를 위하여 초등학교 6학년 3개 학급을 대상으로 문제중심 협동학습을 실시하였고 2개 학급에서는 각각 집단보상과 협동기술 훈련을 실시하였다. 학업성취도 면에서 이질적으로 구성된 소집단별로 진행된 협동학습 후에 세 집단의 과학성취도와 학습동기 점수를 성취도 수준별로 비교 분석하였다. 본 연구의 결과, 첫째, 집단보상과 협동기술 훈련이 과학성취도에 영향을 미쳤으며 학습자의 학업성취 수준에 따른 차이가 나타났다. 즉 성취 수준 상위인 학습자에게는 집단보상이 협동기술 훈련보다 효과적인 반면 하위인 학습자에게는 협동기술 훈련이 집단보상보다 효과적이었으며 중위인 학습자는 집단보상과 협동기술 훈련이 모두 효과적인 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 집단보상과 협동기술 훈련이 학습동기에 영향을 미쳤으나 학습자의 학업성취 수준과는 관련이 없었다. 학습동기의 하위요소별로는 주의력 요소에는 효과가 없었으나 자신감과 만족감 요소에는 효과가 나타났다.

The Sociolinguistic Journal of Korea 13(1). This case study illustrates the changes of five Korean English as a Second Language (ESL) students' language learning motivation in Toronto. For each participant, semi-structured interviews were conducted once a month for six months. The data demonstrate that 1) in the initial phase, their ESL motivation is represented by extrinsic motivation, which is related to their future job opportunities, and they try to actively participate in the target language community: 2) in the middle phase, they feel a growing sense of intrinsic motivation, but at the same time experience challenges in maintaining intrinsic motivation due to their ESL school or homestay changes: and 3) in the last phase, intrinsic motivation atrophies, and they focus on ESL learning either on their own or with the help of native speaking English tutors. The data show that the nature of ESL motivation of the students in the study is influenced by their unique sociocultural surroundings. The findings imply that without continuous effort to participate in the target language community, study abroad in an ESL society does not guarantee expected ESL proficiency.

이 연구의 목적은 ARCS(Attention, Relevance, Confidence, Satisfaction) 전략을 적용한 STS(Science, Technology and Society) 수업이 초등학교 5학년 학생들의 학습 동기와 과학적 태도에 미치는 영향을 알아보는 것이다. 이를 위해 53명의 초등학교 5학년 학생들을 표집하여 실험반과 통제반으로 구분하였다. 그리고 4주 동안 실험반에는 ARCS 전략을 적용한 STS 수업을 처치하였고, 통제반에는 전통적인 수업을 실시하였다. 연구 결과는 ARCS 전략을 적용한 STS수업이 전통적인 수업보다 초등학교 5학년 학생들의 학습 동기와 과학적 태도 향상에 효과적이었음을 보여주었다.
