Abstract

The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of Keller motivational design model on learning and motivation of academic achievement of eighth grade female students in experimental sciences. The research method was quasi-experimental and according to the nature of the subject, its objectives and hypotheses were applied. The statistical population of the study consisted of all eighth grade female students in district 4 of Tehran in the academic year 2012-2012, and the statistical sample of the research included all 50 female students of the eighth grade of Tohid School. They were selected and placed in two experimental and control groups. In order to assess the subjects, a learning test and a questionnaire of academic achievement motivation were used. In this study, the experimental group was trained in the method of Keller motivational design training model and the control group was taught in the conventional method. Data analysis was performed using descriptive statistics (mean, standard deviation) and inferential statistics (analysis of covariance and multivariate analysis of variance). The results of the data analysis showed that the rate of learning and motivation of academic achievement of students who were trained using the Keller motivational design model was higher than the control group.
