Effect of resource-based instructions on pre-service biology teachers’ motivation toward learning biology

Linking motivation and learning is central to understanding students’ motivation toward learning and learning itself as complex cognitive phenomena. Some studies focused on students’ motivation toward learning biology in general; however, the shortage of studies on the effect of animation-based ins...

Effect of resource-based instructions on pre-service biology teachers’ motivation toward learning biology
description Linking motivation and learning is central to understanding students’ motivation toward learning and learning itself as complex cognitive phenomena.
