Abstract
This study used the Motivated Strategies for Learning Questionnaire in modularized courses at three institutions across the nation (N = 189), and multiple regression was completed to investigate five categories of student motivation that predicted academic success and course completion. The overall multiple regression analysis was significant and two variables, Task Value and Self-Efficacy, were significant in predicting student progress in the course. Also, open-ended items were collected to help determine the students’ evaluation of what helps them to succeed and this was then compared to the findings from the multiple regression analysis.
