Resumen
Ha habido mucho debate sobre el sistema educativo de Malasia que va desde el desempleo hasta la falta de habilidades sociales. Ninguna de las universidades locales está clasificada dentro de las 50 mejores universidades asiáticas por Times Higher Education. El país también alcanza puntajes promedio globales por debajo de la evaluación de referencia entre sus estudiantes de 15 años en matemáticas y ciencias conducidos por la OCDE. Otra tendencia preocupante es que los graduados se vuelvan más exigentes al seleccionar los programas y opten por la ruta más fácil al inscribirse en cursos que les permitan obtener puestos de carrera dentro de la función pública segura. En consideración a estos temas, es necesario comprender mejor la motivación de los estudiantes para sobresalir en sus estudios y los factores que los impulsan a lograr buenas calificaciones. Este estudio busca investigar la relación entre los factores internos y externos que llevan a los estudiantes a tener una motivación intrínseca para desempeñarse en sus estudios. Los factores internos son de naturaleza psicológica que comprende la competencia percibida y la autodeterminación, mientras que los factores externos comprenden el apoyo social y el entorno de aprendizaje. Una encuesta de campo que involucra a estudiantes de ciencias y disciplinas de ciencias sociales arroja 621 respuestas utilizables. Los resultados del análisis de regresión indican que todos los factores son significativos para predecir la motivación intrínseca de los estudiantes. Se encuentra que la autodeterminación es el factor más influyente, mientras que el ambiente de aprendizaje se considera el determinante menos importante en esta investigación. Posteriormente, las implicaciones tanto para académicos como para profesionales se discuten más a fondo en este documento.Citas
