Abstract

This paper explores the relationship between college students' learning motivation and the effectiveness of ideological and moral education courses. The research uses methods such as surveys, interviews, and classroom observations to analyze the different impacts of intrinsic and extrinsic motivations on learning outcomes. The results show that intrinsic motivation, such as interest and value identification, has a significantly greater impact on learning effectiveness compared to extrinsic motivations like the pursuit of grades and social pressure. Self-efficacy is also confirmed as an important influencing factor. The study suggests that enhancing learning outcomes can be achieved by stimulating intrinsic motivation, optimizing teaching methods, personalizing teaching strategies, and improving course evaluation systems.
