Abstract
Important motivational factors that influence learning are goals, outcome expectations, values and self-efficacy. Goals enhance learning through their effects on perceived progress, self efficacy and self evaluation. As we keep progressing, it raises our perception of self efficacy and sustains motivation. Goals that have specificity, proximity and difficulty level, enhance self-perception and motivation, as do the self set goals for which people feel committed. Outcome expectations affect learning and motivation because people work hard to achieve desired outcomes and avoid any effort for undesirable ones. People also act in consonance with their values, and prefer to work for those outcomes that can bring satisfaction to them. This paper looks into the motivational processes that influence student learning.
