ABSTRACT
RESEARCH TITLE: Motivational Factors in Relation to High and Low Performance of the
First Year Nursing Students of San Juan de Dios Educational Foundation Incorporated,
College.

Leader: Ma. Clarissa Sales

ADVISER: Mrs. Carolyn Hizon
BACKGROUND: The primary subject of the study is the first year nursing students school year
2008- 2009. This study focused on the motivational factors related to the level of academic
performance of the students. The study would like to determine how second year nursing
students during their first year level, perform according to their motivations and how those will
affect their academic performance. The study aimed to determine the motivations of a high
performing student and the motivations of a low performing student. Thus, through identifying
the motives, this would be a help to continue their improvement and work out on their
weaknesses.

PURPOSE: This study aimed to determine the intrinsic and/or extrinsic motivational factors of
the first year nursing students in relation to high and low level of academic performance. To
determine the behavior of the students toward their study in accordance to their motivations and
effect to their academic performance.
SETTING: San Juan de Dios Educational Foundation Incorporated, College
SUBJECT: This study included the four (4) sections of second year nursing students of San
Juan de Dios Educational Foundation Incorporated College, located at Roxas Boulevard, Pasay
City.
RESEARCH DESIGN:Descriptive correlational method of research
DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS: Questionnaires were given to second year
respondents which were formulated by the researchers. The questionnaire is composed of 20
different intrinsic and extrinsic motivational factors that were combined randomly. It is
composed of 10 intrinsic and 10 extrinsic factors that motivated them to take up nursing. The
respondents were chosen, based on their final grades and classified as high and low academic
performing students.
The researchers provided a Likert scale as follows: Wherein 5- to very high extent, 4- to a
high extent, 3- to a moderate extent, 2- to a limited extent, and 1- not at all. The researchers will
total up the scores of all odd and even numbers. Then, to describe the scores of the respondents,
weighted mean was used. Each category was computed for the frequency and percentage
distribution of respondents according to motivational factors: intrinsic and/or extrinsic, was also
computed using Pearson- r.

SUMMARY OF FINDINGS:
1. Based on the study conducted, it revealed that the highest intrinsic motive (4.43) was they
see nursing because they believe that Filipino nurses are good in rendering care and the lowest
intrinsic motive (3.35) was becoming a nurse is their destiny. On the other hand, the highest
extrinsic motive (4.13) was they have plans of working abroad and the lowest extrinsic motive
(1.93) was they took up nursing because their friends do so.
2. Out of 160 respondents, thirty seven percent (37%) high performing and seven percent
(7%) of low performing students were intrinsically motivated. On the other hand, six percent
(6%) of high performing and 1.25 % of low performing students were extrinsically motivated. It
revealed that majority of high performing and low performing students were intrinsically
motivated.
3. The result of the study revealed that there is no relationship in the academic performance
of high performing students in terms of intrinsic motives (-0.123) and
extrinsic motives (-0.227). On the other hand, academic performance of low performing students
has no relationship in terms of intrinsic motives (-0.042), however in terms of their extrinsic
factor revealed that there was also no relationship in the academic performance of low
performing students (-0.389). It shows that there has no relationship in academic performance of
low performing students in terms extrinsic motives. The data gathered were justified using
Pearson r.

CONCLUSION: Statistical evidence of negative r- value of the study revealed that there is no
relationship in the academic performance of high and low performing students when they were
grouped according to motivation. Based on the research conducted, an intrinsic and/or extrinsic
motivational factor does not affect the academic performance of high performing and low
performing students. Intrinsically motivated individual can perform equally well with an
extrinsically motivated individual. A student, who is intrinsically motivated, initiates an activity
for its own good, for the enjoyment it renders, the learning it permits, or the feelings of
accomplishment it cause. An extrinsically motivated student performs in order to obtain some
reward or avoid punishment external to the activity itself, such as grades and/or teacher
approval.
RECOMMENDATION
1. The administration office should strengthen the motivation program among the first year
nursing students in the College of Nursing. The professors and clinical instructors may use other
teaching styles to improve the students academic performance.
2. The parents should continue supporting their children regardless of the effects of
motivation in the academic performance.
3. High and low performing students should stay focused on their studies even though
intrinsic an extrinsic motivation does not have any relationship to their academic performance.
Students should take into consideration other factors that could affect their academic

performances such as lack of resources, lack of ability or training, inappropriate strategies or
teaching styles.
4. The studies/research of the same type as to the relation of motivation to the academic
performance must be conducted.
