Achievement motivation amongst Rwandan students. A mixed-method study of its cognitive-affective structure and associations with school grades
Research on achievement motivation in Rwanda is sparse. Using a sample of 153 Rwandan secondary school students, this mixed-method study explored the cognitive-affective structure of classroom motivation and amotivation. It also explored the relations between (a)motivation and school grades. Qualitative content analysis revealed that expectancy beliefs, school utility, and emotions were common factors of (a)motivation implied by students. Within a simple listing exercise students indicated what subjects they associate with (a)motivation. Biserial correlations with end-of-year grades revealed that (a)motivation significantly predicts achievement in key subjects, such as Mathematics and Physics. It suggests that motivation is an educationally relevant concept for the Rwandan school context. Additional motivational research in Rwanda is warranted but needs to take into account its multidimensionality.
