Investigating the Relationship Between Learning Motivation and Academic Performance: Data Analysis Based on College Students

Taking college students as the research object, the relationship between learning motivation and academic performance was investigated by questionnaire. The results showed that there was a significant positive correlation between learning motivation and academic performance, and self-efficacy, active learning behavior and intrinsic motivation played an important role in positive academic performance. The survey also found that the current college students' learning motivation has a clear utilitarian trend, lack of intrinsic motivation, poor stability, and obvious group differences. The main reasons for this phenomenon include: first, the employment pressure and utilitarian tendency in the social environment; The second is the defects of curriculum system and evaluation system in school education; Third, the students themselves have no clear goal orientation and their self-control is weak. Based on this, this paper puts forward three strategies for reference from the level of teaching reform, resources and students.
