“…According to international literature motivation is the desire to act in a particular manner in a given situation (e.g., Schiefele, 2009;Schunk, Pintrich, & Meece, 2008;Wigfield, Eccles, Schiefele, Roeser, & Davis-Kean, 2006). The current study leans on the motivational factors (Maehr & Braskamp, 1986;Roede, 1989), which are composed of expectancy, value and affective components (Hascher, van der Veen, & Roede, 2005;Pintrich & de Groot, 1990). This framework is an adaptation of a general psychological expectancy-value model of motivation used by Eccles et al (1983) and Pintrich (1988).…”
