Abstract

This study investigated the role of autonomous and controlled motivations in influencing Chinese master students’ research literacy based on the self-determination theory. Data were collected from 345 master students in Chinese universities. Results from the structural equation modelling analyses suggested both autonomous motivation and supervisors’ support significantly influenced master students’ research literacy, while the role of controlled motivation in influencing their research literacy did not achieve a significant level. Besides, supervisor’s support significantly influenced master students’ autonomous and controlled motivation. This study contributed to the people’s understanding of roles of supervisors’ support, autonomous motivation, and controlled motivation in improving master students’ research literacy and provided valuable insights for supervisors and policy makers to make informed decisions on improving students’ research literacy.

了解中国硕士生的研究素养：自主动机和受控动机的作用

本研究以自我决定理论为基础，探讨了自主动机和受控动机对中国硕士生研究素养的影响作用。研究收集了中国高校 345 名硕士生的数据。结构方程模型分析结果表明，自主动机和导师支持对硕士生的研究素养有显著影响，而控制动机对硕士生研究素养的影响不显著。此外，导师的支持也对硕士生的自主动机和控制动机有显著影响。本研究有助于人们理解导师支持、自主动机和控制动机在提高硕士生研究素养中的作用，并为导师和政策制定者在提高学生研究素养方面做出明智决策提供了有价值的启示。

期刊介绍： Learning and Motivation features original experimental research devoted to the analysis of basic phenomena and mechanisms of learning, memory, and motivation. These studies, involving either animal or human subjects, examine behavioral, biological, and evolutionary influences on the learning and motivation processes, and often report on an integrated series of experiments that advance knowledge in this field. Theoretical papers and shorter reports are also considered.
