Held, Tanja; Hascher, Tina (26 August 2021). Stability and change of motivation profiles in mathematics instruction in lower secondary education (Unpublished). In: 19th Biennial European Association for Research on Learning and Instruction (EARLI) Conference.. Online. 23.08.-27.08.2021.
Motivation is an important factor for successful learning processes and outcomes. Given the heterogeneity of individuals, it is of particular importance to understand differences between learners by applying a person-centered approach. The first research objective of our study was to examine students’ motivation profiles based on the self-determination theory (SDT) in mathematics in lower secondary education. The second objective was to investigate how these motivation profiles change during Grade 7 and 8. The third aim was to analyze whether a particular intervention setting (students participated in workshops with the aim of promoting positive emotions and learning motivation) had an impact on the patterns of change in the specific motivation profiles compared to the control setting. Conducting Latent Profile Analysis (LPA), motivation profiles of 348 lower secondary students were recorded based on their intrinsic, identified, introjected, and extrinsic regulation. Subsequently, the transition probabilities between the profiles are estimated using the Latent Transition Analysis (LTA). Results revealed three motivation profiles: a low-motivation profile, a high-motivation profile, and a self-determined motivation profile with high level of stability across Grades 7 and 8. Furthermore, LTA revealed different effects of the intervention on different motivation profiles. The intervention seemed to be better tailored to students in the low-motivation profile than to students in other profiles.
