(5) Personality traits had a moderation effect on the relationship between learning motivation and learning effectiveness. It was suggested that college students should stimulate their motivation for independent learning, enhance their motivation for learning, and cultivate the ability to learn independently in learning. At the same time, in the classroom, teachers should innovate teaching methods, mobilize students’ interest in learning, and cultivate students’ initiative. In addition, schools should actively carry out themed lectures to cultivate students’ correct learning attitudes. In terms of the influence of personality traits on the relationship between learning motivation and learning effectiveness should not be ignored, and appropriate attention should be paid to improving learning effectiveness.
