Abstract

<p>Changes in academic motivation, self-assessment, and perceived competence in the process of preparing for the national examination using group learning were examined based on the level of academic ability. The results indicated that controlled motivation decreased, and autonomous motivation increased in December, three months after starting the preparation for the national examination, regardless of the original academic grades. Selfassessment and perceived competence also increased after December, regardless of academic grades, with students with low academic grades showing an exceptionally rapid increase. After December, there was a significant positive correlation only between perceived competence and intrinsic motivation, such that perceived competence increased intrinsic motivation. These results suggest that the first three months of the course are crucial for passing the national examination. It is considered essential for students with low academic grades to participate with other students in the learning program for acquiring “explanatory knowledge” during the first three months.</p>
