ABSTRACT
Learning and success depend on motivation. In the context of education, motivation is viewed as having a multi-dimensional structure that is linked to learning and academic motivation. Motivation can be interpreted in a variety of ways. In the field of education, motivation is a tridimensional phenomena made up of an individual's beliefs in their capacity to complete a given task, their motivations and objectives for completing the assignment, and their emotional reaction to completing the task. This study aims at investigating to find out the difference of Mathematics motivation between Secondary Boys and Secondary Girls Students. The researcher also attempts to find out the relationship between Mathematics Motivation and Academic Achievement of Secondary Students. The researcher chose a three-dimensional test to assess mathematics motivation. 163 pupils in the tenth grade were chosen by the purposive sample method from the districts of Nadia and North 24 Parganas under West Bengal Board of Secondary Education. The analysis was done through ‘t’ test and correlation method. The study indicated that pupils' desire for mathematics varied significantly by gender, but there was no significant difference between urban and rural students or across any stratum among them.
