Abstract
The purpose of this study is to find out whether G-learning method can raise students' academic motivation of the mathematics in elementary school. The subjects were 687 students in the same school. They were divided into two groups, control group and experimental group. Written tests were taken before and after the semester to evaluate the students' motivation of the mathematics. According to the results, the participation in G-learning program improved their academic achievements of mathematics. Experimental group showed statistically significant improvement in intrinsic motivation. On the contrary, control group showed statistically significant improvement in extrinsic motivation. This means that G-learning method make students study mathematics on their own initiative.
