Analysis of the motivation of learners in the in-house training of programming in Japanese ICT industries

Abstract

In order to plan efficient and effective in-house training for programming, the characteristics of the motivation of learners in an in-house training of programming course, in an information and communication technology (ICT) industry, have been analyzed. In the in-house training course, 42 participants underwent a 16 day training program of Java language. The analysis of the motivation was carried out using a questionnaire based on the ARCS motivation model. As a result, it has been found that the motivation of those who have a technology background is not necessarily higher than that of those who have a non-technology background.
