Abstract

In order to make instructors aware of continuous changing of youngsters’ psychological needs with motivational beliefs in relation to learnings, let them provide students with a favorable learning context. A synthesis of principles of motivational beliefs that stem from studies aimed at investigating the association between motivation and learning outcomes is made in this paper. A detailed analysis is followed, which focuses on the traditional facets of motivational beliefs such as opinions, judgments, values, learning motivation and goal orientation that students hold about objects, especially on learning goals, self-efficacy, beliefs about effort and effect of motivational beliefs on learning thereof. Result shows that on one hand principles of motivational beliefs have their origins in the theory of self-concept develop through the years. On the other hand, they exert prominent effect on youngsters’ school learning.
