STUDENT ACADEMIC MOTIVATION OF SECONDARY SCHOOLS OF KHAIRPUR MIR’S

Strong study habits are key to student academic success, yet an understanding of the underlying motivations for student studying eludes most faculty members. This study, conducted at schools of khairpurMir’s, I designed to explore the factors that drive students to study, to identify differences between successful and less-successful student in terms of their study behaviors, and to connect student study motivation to the larger realm of workplace motivation theory. A sample of 60 students (30 males and 30 females) was selected from different schools of khairpurmir’s. The age of the participants ranged from 15-18 years (with mean age of 15.56 years). Their educational level was at least matric and socioeconomic status was middle and high class. The Academic Motivation Scale (Vallerand, 1992) was administered to assess academic extrinsic motivation and academic performance was measured through results.
