• In Event: LED- Perspectives on Motivation (h)

Short Description

The study investigates learners’ motivation in an online project-based learning (PBL). PBL helps learners become motivated while engaging in authentic real-world projects as they take ownership of their learning. McClelland’s motivation theory was used as the theoretical framework to categorize three learners' motivational drivers: achievement, power, and affiliation. Employing a formative research method, this study intends to provide instructional strategies to sustain and enhance learners' motivation based on their motivational drivers.
