| metadata.dc.description.other-abstract: | This study aimed to address a research gap among these variables with the Thai high school students studying Chinese as a foreign language by exploring the level of students’ motivation and academic self-efficacy and investigating the relationship between motivation, academic self-efficacy, and individual differences among Thai high school students. A school in Trang, Thailand, was purposively selected as a case study, and 123 high school students from this school were recruited as research participants. The main research design in the quantitative part of the study was correlational study while qualitative data were also sought from the semi-structured interview to supplement the quantitative findings. The results showed that the participants had a low level of learning motivation from the L2MSS perspectives (x̄ = 2.420) and had a moderate level of academic selfefficacy (x̄ = 2.639). Learning motivation and academic self-efficacy were statistically significant correlated with students' age and Chinese language proficiency level, but not statistically significant correlated with gender, ethnicity, and duration of Chinese learning. The regression equation of motivation and academic self-efficacy was derived from linear regression analysis as language motivation=-0.572+1.134*academic selfefficacy. Furthermore, the results of the semi-structured interviews confirmed that the main motivation type of Thai high school students is L2 ideal self; besides, there are many problems in the teaching methods and textbooks of Chinese teaching in Thailand. |
