The Impact of Learning Motivation on the Academic Performance of Students at Jilin Normal University

Abstract

With the popularization of higher education, academic performance standards have become one of the criteria for evaluating college students’ academic achievements. Students’ learning motivation is considered a key factor affecting their academic performance. This article aims to explore the impact of students’ learning motivation on their academic performance in colleges and universities. Through questionnaire surveys and data analysis, it analyzes the differences between intrinsic motivation and extrinsic motivation, as well as their specific impacts on academic performance. The research results show that there is a significant positive correlation between intrinsic motivation and academic performance, while the impact of extrinsic motivation is relatively weak. In addition, the type of learning motivation also affects students’ learning strategies, which in turn affect their academic performance. This study provides suggestions for college education administrators to improve teaching strategy practices, especially in stimulating students’ intrinsic motivation.
