Student Learning and Motivation: What, How, and Why?

The learning process is continuous and active, influenced by extrinsic and intrinsic factors, such as motivation. This study aimed to identify the perception of 32 students about strategies that helped them learn and engage in the classroom. The results showed that repetitive activities in the learning spaces and note-taking were perceived as the most preferred when learning, while the most motivating factors were discussion, participation, and technology platforms. The design and implementation of strategies in the classroom should occur in active environments that motivate students to learn.
