Academic locus of control and motivational commitment: structural equation modeling

Abstract

Hakan SARIÇAM [1]

Motivation” is one of the frequently discussed and theoretically studied concepts in the field of educational psychology. While motivation for many theorists is seen as particularly necessary for learning; In motivation, determination is considered the key to success. According to Keller (2006), motivation determines the direction and magnitude of behavior. Motivation is the approach or avoidance of people to strive towards the goals they choose. Motivation is based on three assumptions: 1-People are motivated by being affected by external events. 2-It is related to performance in the sense of ending or not. 3- Motivation that can be measured by systematic design and application can be explained. Motivation contributes especially to cognitive behaviors such as planning, organization, decision making, learning and evaluation (Pintrich & Schunk, 1996). If people are motivated or concentrated, they will likely be able to achieve their goals. Similarly, if they have enough motivation, they will be successful in learning (Dweck, 1986). Based on these thoughts, it can be said that motivation is the trigger of success (Elliot, 1999; Ushioda, 2015). Hardré and Reeve (2003) and Wlodkowski (1999) found that highly motivated students, given similar conditions, situations and opportunities, performed better than other students. On the other hand, it has been determined that students who are not motivated or have little concentration have difficulties in reaching long-term goals (Elliot & Dweck, 1988; Elliot & Harackiewicz, 1996). Constantin, Holman and Hojbot?
