A self-report instrument were used to measure students motivational construct of intrinsic goal orientation, extrinsic goal orientation, perception of task value and control of learning beliefs and self-efficacy for learning and performance with the students' level of engagement in the question-generation activity. The instrument was adapted from Motivated Strategies for Learning Questionnaire (MSLQ). T-test results indicated that there were significant differences between most-active and least-active contributors in the component of intrinsic goal orientation, perception of task value, and control of learning beliefs; whereby, most-active contributors tends to develop higher motivation drive in the mentioned motivation component. Correlation analysis revealed that the strongest correlation is between intrinsic motivation and the perception of task value between the most-active contributors. The result further revealed that most-active contributors valued the task given, which is to create, share and answer multiple-choice online as important and beneficial as compared to least-active contributors.
