| dc.description.abstract | This research aims to explain reading motivation used by high school students.
This study was conducted in one of the private schools at Medan. This design is a
survey study, which is quantitative research. The primary data were obtained from
classroom observation. The participants were 132 respondents from high school
student batch 2023. This research adopted Wigfield and Guthrie (1997) as adapted by
Schutte Malouff (2007). The instrument contained 21 items, including 2 domains:
extrinsic motivation (recognition, performance, social, compliance, avoidance) and
intrinsic motivation (curiosity, challenge, efficacy, involvement, importance), which
are suitable to describe the motivation reading. The findings show intrinsic motivation
with mean (M=3.39 & SD= 0.04) and extrinsic motivation mean (M= 3.22 & SD=
0.05). Therefore, schools need to provide or facilitate the reading program for students
to increase their reading motivation. | en_US |
