A Study of Students in Relation to Achievement Motivation in College Students

Abstract

The present paper is investigating the study conducted on a sincere attempt to understand the achievement motivation faced by the college students in the areas – emotional, social, educational and general/overall spheres. Educators can revise and plan school curriculum reforms accordingly, which would help in developing social and emotional maturity among the learning youth. A healthy motivation is necessary for the normal growth of an individual in life and education. Education trains people to adapt healthily to various life situations of the present and the future. This logic implies that education and adaptation are interconnected and complementary. Purposive sampling method was used to gather the sample of 120 college students on achievement motivation Scale is tabulated. In this research, age and gender taken as independent variables. “2×2 Factorial Design” was used to categorize. The responses of all 120 students on achievement motivation Scale for college students (AMS) are tabulated under adequate subgroups by 2×2 factorial designs. The global look at the source of the gender and age on achievement motivation Scale for college students (AMS) shows their non- significant difference between genders. It suggests that there will be non-significant difference between achievement of college students or the interaction between age and gender.
