The Relationship between Beliefs in Cooperation, Motivation, and Engagement in Cooperative Learning

This study developed a motivational regulation strategies scale for cooperative learning, and examined the relationships among strategies, motivational factors, and engagements. First, a self-reported questionnaire with open-ended questions was administered to 261 undergraduates, and 46 items were developed for the motivational regulation strategies scale. Next, a self-reported questionnaire pertaining to these items was administered to 284 undergraduates. A factor analysis indicated a five-factor structure for motivational regulation strategies in cooperative learning. The results of a partial correlation analysis among these strategies, self-efficacy, and intrinsic value supported the construct validity of the scale. The results of multiple regression analysis indicated that behavioral engagement was positively correlated with strategies to enhance a sense of duty, self-efficacy, and intrinsic value. Emotional engagement was positively correlated with active interaction strategies, strategies for structuring learning activities, and intrinsic value, and was negatively correlated with strategies to enhance a sense of duty. The effect of motivational regulation strategies on cooperative learning is discussed based on the present findings.

Strategies for motivating the regulation of behavior are crucial for promoting active learning. This study explores the structure of motivational regulation strategies for university physical education classes as liberal education through the development of the scale and investigated the relationship between the use of motivational regulation strategies and perceived utility and self-efficacy. A questionnaire survey was conducted with university students (n=591) who were taking physical education classes. The survey questions asked on self-determination motivation for exercise, perceived usefulness, self-efficacy, and items for developing a motivational regulation technique scale. First, exploratory factor analysis of a motivational regulation strategy scale showed a factor structure consisting of the following four factors: "intrinsic regulation strategy," "cooperation strategy," "self-consequating strategy," and "shame avoidance strategy." Internal consistency for subscales and test-retest correlations were used to check reliability and confirmatory factor analysis and correlations with the selfdetermination motivation for exercise scale were used to assess validity. The results for both analyses were satisfactory. Next, the relationship between the use of motivational regulation strategies and perceived utility and self-efficacy was examined using multiple regression analysis. The results were as follows: (1) Perceived utility had a positive association on the use of all strategies. (2) Self-efficacy had a positive association on the use of "intrinsic regulation strategy," "cooperation strategy" and "self-consequating strategy." (3) Self-efficacy had a negative association on the use of "shame avoidance strategy." According to this finding, self-efficacy and perceived usefulness both support the employment of motivational management tools in university physical education classes for liberal arts.
