A Meta Analysis Study on the Relationship Between Motivation For Science Learning And Science Achievement

13867

This meta-analysis study aims to synthesize the results of individual studies on respectively small samples investigating the correlations between motivation for science learning and science achievement. In this respect, six studies that published between 2000 and 2014 and examined the relationship between students motivation for science and science achievement were included in the meta-analysis. When the participants of the related studies were taken into account, the findings from a sample group of 5903 subjects were synthesized by meta-analysis. The results of the analysis for all six studies involved suggested positive and statistically significant correlations between students motivation for science and science achievement. The combined effect size was calculated for all studies according to both Fixed (r=-.31) and Random (r=-.32) Effect Models. When both effect size values obtained as a result of the meta-analysis study are taken into account, it can be said that as the level of motivation for the students increases, the science achievement will also increase. Likewise, success can be expected to decrease with decreased motivation.
