Exploring the relationship between learning motivation and student satisfaction in higher education in Vietnam
Keywords:
Learning motivation, Student Satisfaction, Higher Education, Intrinsic Motivation, Extrinsic MotivationAbstract
This study investigates the impact of learning motivation on student satisfaction within the higher education environment in Vietnam. Based on a survey of 425 students, the results indicate that intrinsic motivation is positively and strongly related to satisfaction, with each unit increase in intrinsic motivation resulting in a 0.45-point increase in satisfaction. Extrinsic motivation also has an effect, but to a lesser extent. Student satisfaction is improved by the quality of teaching and support from instructors, and this relationship varies by academic year and field of study. These findings provide valuable insights for enhancing educational quality and student satisfaction.
