Abstract
Students’ level of participation in an academic activity is influenced by whether they are driven by intrinsic motivation or by extrinsic motivation. The present study was carried out on a sample of 136 students from a total population of 250 students to understand their level of motivation. The Motivational Scale of Motivated Strategies for Learning Questionnaire (MSLQ) developed by Pintrich, Paul R.; and others (1991) was employed. Responses to the questionnaire 31 items were scored on a 7 point Likert scale. The result of the study indicates that students can be both extrinsically and intrinsically motivated when engaged in learning or academic task.
