The Effectiveness a Stimulation-Based ‎Instructional Program in Enhancing Students’ ‎to Learn Motivation among a Sample of ‎Grade 8 Students At the Time of the COVID-‎‎19 Pandemic‎

Abstract

The current study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of a stimulation-based instructional program in enhancing students’ motivation to learn among a sample of grade 8 students at the time of the COVID 19 pandemic. he study sample was made up of 62 eighth-grade students. The study groups of boys and girls were chosen from the purposeful samples that were available. 26 male and female students were in the control group, and 36 male and female students were in the experimental group. A stimulation-based instructional program was developed to achieve the study's objectives. It had four dimensions: generating and maintaining attention, establishing and supporting relevance, building confidence, and managing satisfaction outcomes. A validation jury confirmed the program's validity. To test the study hypotheses of the motivation to learn scale, its psychometric properties have been confirmed.. The results of MANCOVA test showed that there are no statistically significant differences between the averages of the study members on both the pre-test and post-test on all domains and the total. However, there are statistically significant differences between the averages of the study members’ responses attributed to the experimental group members. The results of the independent samples test (t) show statistically significant differences between the average responses of the experimental group members on the domains of the learning motivation scale according to the gender variable, and this is for females. The study's findings also showed that there are no statistically significant differences in the averages of the study members on the domains of the motivation to learn scale based on the student's gender variables or their interaction, whereas there were differences attributed to the experimental group variable
