ABSTRACT
Students at private universities and colleges are generally tired of learning, truant, obsessed with online games, and lack concentration in their studies. It has a detrimental impact on the academic student accomplishments in private colleges as well as universities. Therefore, on the basis of the research to date, this paper will summarize the causes of a lack from learning motivation (LM) among students in private colleges, improve students’ self-efficacy (SE), and stimulate LM. This study explores whether it affects students’ academic performance (AP), in order to provide reference for identifying the reasons for insufficient LM among students in private colleges. From the literature review, this paper concludes that there are a significant number of positive correlations between the SE and the internal motivation of study. There is a positive, negative, or no correlation between SE and external motivation from learning. Academic self-efficacy could positively affect and predict AP. The relationship between the LM and the AP confirms that LM has one certain predictive effect on the AP, and the positive correlation between intrinsic motivation and the AP is significant, while the correlation between extrinsic motivation and intrinsic motivation AP is not significant. Future research can use cross-lag analysis to investigate the longitudinal relationship between the SE and the motivation regulating and using motivation regulation policy. The reciprocity relationship model can also be used to consider multiple important variables together, revealing the impact of multiple variables on the research object, and clearly showing the internal relationship between variables.
