Learning Strategies as Moderators Between Motivation and Mathematics Performance in East Asian Students: Latent Class Analysis

This study applied a three-step latent class analysis (LCA) approach to explore latent classes of learning strategy use and their moderation effects on the relationships between motivation and mathematics performance. The data of 15-year-old students from five East Asian educational systems related...
