INVESTIGATING RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN STUDENTS' MOTIVATION AND LEARNING ACHIEVEMENT IN A PROJECT-BASED LEARNING COURSE

In class of project-based learning (PBL), the class learners are divided into some teams which perform each project. However, all projects in a class are not always successful, since there are usually some students with poor performance in terms of low motivation. Therefore, I investigated relationships between learners' motivation and learning achievement in a PBL course. I conducted PBL in software engineering course and investigated the relationships using questionnaire survey. The results showed that encouraging the learners who have some experiences of PBL to do thinking activity of PBL is useful to enhance the learning achievement of PBL.
