Abstract

This research was conducted with the aim of evaluating the effectiveness of academic motivation training with an Islamic approach on motivational beliefs and learning strategies among sixth grade male students. Sixty students from  grade six of one of the elementary schools were selected through convenient sampling, and after random assignment of the samples, they were replaced in two groups of 30 people. All the subjects in the groups responded to a self-regulated learning strategies questionnaire (Pintrich & de Groot, 1990) before and after the intervention for the experimental group while the control group did not receive any intervention. Data analysis using multivariate analysis of covariance test showed that there is a significant difference between the control group and experimental group on the pretest and post-test learning strategies and motivational beliefs with pre-test control at the 0.05 level. However, the results of data analysis related to the effect of academic motivation training with an Islamic approach on learning strategies, showed no significant difference between the experimental and control groups in the post-test with the pre-test control. But in relation to the effect of educational motivation training with Islamic approach on motivational beliefs, it shows that there is a significant difference between the experimental and control groups in the post-test of motivational beliefs with the pre-test control. Therefore, the hypothesis of the effect of academic motivation training with an Islamic approach on motivational beliefs was confirmed as the training caused the anxiety of the experimental group students to decrease significantly compared to the control group, which ultimately increased motivational beliefs such as "self-efficacy, goal orientation, internal valuation and test anxiety" .
