“…Motivation to learn is a construct that has been defined by different authors, i.e., [34,35], and can be defined as identifying chosen individual behaviors to reach a specific goal [36]. The motivation to learn has been formalized by means of different theories as shown in [37], the contemporary ones being summarized in [38] as follows: expectancy-value, attribution, social cognitive, goal orientation, and self-determination.…”

The expectations, attitudes, engagement, and motivation of students are key elements when designing learning activities. Several studies have been implemented and different strategies and activities have been analyzed to improve the aforesaid aspects of learning content. In the context of the New Learning Context (NLC), this paper presents the findings of two first day of class activities aimed at engaging engineering students in a business and management subject from the very first moment: an empirical study conducted by means of a survey answered by engineering students in Information and Communication Technologies (ICT), followed by an interactive activity between students and instructors carried out through a reciprocal interview activity. The survey was performed with the objective of identifying what they ‘liked’ and ‘disliked’ on their first day of class of a business subject. The findings are presented and compared with previous studies and have proven to be mostly consistent with previous academic work. Finally, a reciprocal interview activity was chosen to potentially enhance the students’ engagement and motivation. According to the feedback received, this activity was positively valued by the students.

“…It is proven by the high turnover intention of junior nurses in the hospital (Labrague et al, 2020). In this study, it is different from the theory, that most of the respondents aged 21-30 years have high motivation, and that age is classified as an adult age (Kovach, 2018). The adult respondents already have a level of technical and psychological maturity in carrying out tasks that will show their mental maturity which affects the work motivation of nurses in the inpatient installation room (Agustin et al, 2019).…”

Background: Work motivation is often the cause of the reduced performance of nurses, it is related to the lack of internal and external motivation in the work. Objective: This study aimed to analyze the relationship between work motivation to nurse performance in the installation room of an Islamic hospital. Methods: The design of this study uses cross-sectional methods. The sampling method used is purposive sampling. Samples taken by 35 respondents are nurses who work in the Inpatient Room of Sakinah Islamic Hospital, Mojokerto, East Java. Research data was taken using motivation sources inventory and a nurse’s work functioning questionnaire that was validated with an r count of 0.786-0.912 and reliable (Cronbach alfa = 0.876). After the tabulated data were analyzed using the Spearman Rho test with a significance level of 0.05. Results: The results showed the motivation of nurses working in the high category (65.7%) and nursing performance showed in the excellent category (57.1%). While the results obtained from the statistical tests showed a correlation between nursing motivation and the performance of nurses with a correlation value of 0.728 with p < 0.001. Conclusions: Seeing these results it is necessary to coach the head office and nurses by providing training to improve motivation and performance so nurses can lead to good service and a good image for the hospital in the community.

“…Intrinsic motivation is an important factor influencing the students' involvement in the studying process as well as the final learning results (Zhou & Zhang, 2023). Previous research has shown the interrelation between intrinsic motivation and control of one's learning, self-assuredness, and personal interest in learning (Kovach, 2018;Ryan & Deci, 2019;Siddiqui et al, 2020). Ryan and Deci (2020) suggest that intrinsic motivation is an enduring, self-supporting, and rewarding type of motivation.…”

Student motivation has always concerned foreign language instructors. It has become more topical in recent years, after the introduction of COVID-19 restrictions, and the new global phenomenon known as remote learning. Previously, it has been claimed that teachers should pay greater attention to intrinsic motivation (e.g., curiosity, autonomy, interest in the subject, novelty), as only intrinsically motivated learners are kept motivated throughout the whole course of learning. It has been proven that extrinsic motivational factors (e.g., awards, positive feedback, good marks, pressure from the family) are inadequate to keep learners motivated over a long period. Still, psychologists suggest that both extrinsic and intrinsic motivation must be activated to ensure an efficient learning process. The present research is aimed at investigating the view of the learners of technical study programs on intrinsic and extrinsic motivational factors as regards foreign language learning, the interrelation between the teacher’s character, studying environment, classroom management, and family involvement in the studying process and motivation, as well as to investigate the factors that motivate the technical students to learn and kept them motivated in the remote learning setting. The author of this research surveyed 140 students of Riga Technical University of the technical study programs. The results showed that both intrinsic and extrinsic motivation are essential for student motivation in the post-pandemic time. However, in a crisis situation, even self-motivated students appear to lose their intrinsic motivation and seek support from families, peers, and teachers to stay motivated. The challenging, entertaining, and engaging tasks, good classroom management, and the application of digital teaching methods are appreciated by students in these times.
