Enhancing student motivation in higher education: A novel application of the love learning model

บทคัดย่อ

This research examines the effectiveness of the “Love Learning” model in
increasing student motivation in the context of higher education. The primary
objective is to address the declining levels of motivation for students observed
in recent years and explore innovative approaches to increase engagement.
Employing a quantitative research design, the study involves pre-test and
post-test of a semi-experimental approach conducted at four universities in
Indonesia. A total of 800 students participated, providing data through structured
questionnaires that assessed their perceptions of the “Love Learning” model and
their motivation levels. Statistical analyses, including paired t-tests and Pearson
correlation coefficients, were utilized to evaluate the impact of the model on
student motivation. The results indicated a statistically significant increase in
motivation levels following the implementation of the “Love Learning” model,
with a paired t-test showing a significant difference (t(799) = 12.45, p < .001)
and a moderate to large effect size (d = 0.85). Additionally, a strong positive
correlation (r = 0.75, p < .001) was found between students’ perceptions of
the model and their motivation levels, suggesting that positive perceptions are
associated with increased motivation. In conclusion, the results highlight the
effectiveness of the “profit education” model as an effective strategy to increase
student motivation and engagement in higher education. The study supports the
broader adoption of a student-centered approach to create supportive learning
environments that promote academic success and retention.
