Abstract

With the aims to find out how the attention, relevance, confidence, and satisfaction (ARCS) motivation model was applied into mathematics education; what research methods were used; and what outcomes were reported in these empirical studies, this paper systematically reviewed the empirical studies applied the ARCS motivation model into mathematics education trends on 2013-2023. Among 26 articles identified, the findings of this review indicated that the data from several contexts support the applicability of the ARCS model in diverse environments for mathematics learning, across different stages students, and in various nations. Three dimensions of the role of the ARCS model in mathematics education studies are identified: instructional design; theoretical framework; and measurement tool. Quantitative method was used most, and experimental studies and quasi-experimental studies were the main methods. Three types of outcomes were mainly focused on the past empirical studies: affective outcomes, cognitive outcomes, social outcomes. The findings highlighted the prospective paths that this area of research should pursue.

Abstract

Motivation plays a crucial role in enhancing students' achievement in mathematics, as motivated students are more likely to engage actively with the subject. However, in China, there is a concerning trend of declining motivation among students toward mathematics, with many exhibiting avoidance behaviors. Despite Ningbo's significance as a major city in China, there is a lack of studies and surveys addressing students' motivation in mathematics learning. This study addresses this gap by employing a questionnaire based on Keller’s ARCS (Attention, Relevance, Confidence, Satisfaction) model, which has been proven effective in measuring students’ motivation. The survey, conducted among 384 high school students in Ningbo, China, aimed to assess their motivation levels in mathematics learning. Descriptive statistical analysis was performed using SPSS Statistics 29 to calculate the mean and percentage for each item. The results revealed that the motivation level among high school students in Ningbo is notably low. Two significant factors contributing to this low motivation were identified: students’ lack of confidence due to the perceived difficulty of mathematics and the belief that mathematics is not closely related to real life.
