Objectives : Motivational factor is a unique contributor to the typically poor academic performance of children with ADHD. However, few study has directly intervened learning motivation in children with ADHD. We conducted this study to explore the direct effects of the learning motivation improvement program applied to children with ADHD. Method The program was designed in order to increase an interest-inducing educational intervention, an academic skills integration, a basic learning activity (reading, writing, and math), and children's self-esteem. We conducted the program twice a week (total 10 sessions) and assessed learning motivation, teaming attitude, self-esteem, academic performance, and problem behaviors of participating children. Results : After the program, teachers reported improvement in teaming motivation. In addition, parents notified sisnificant reduction of problem behaviors. Children reported improvement in a few domains of teaming motivation and learning attitude. Conclusion : While loaming motivation is regarded as an important factor in education, there have been few studies considering this issue in both educational and psychiatric fields. The teaming motivation improvement would be needed in both field in order to reduce the deficits in academic performance in children with ADHD.

Underachievers, having had more experience with failure in teaming, tend to lose their self-confidence and motivation for study. If they achieve more when studying, they will enhance their self-confidence and motivation and their learning accomplishments will be increased. A game-style learning system was, therefore, developed in which the learner gains self-satisfaction and motivation with a proper 'hit and win' in a game-style program. The system supplies learning content automatically and randomly while adapting to the student's level by continuously checking the learning progress. Positive effects in motivation and learning achievement were recorded when underachievers used this program.

This study was conducted to investigate the interaction effects of various presentation types of graphics and the individual differences in need for cognition on comprehension, interestingness, and motivation. The depiction of the operation of a bicycle tire pump was presented in one of the following conditions, (a) simultaneous presentation, (b) successive presentation, (c) self-pace presentation, (d) animation. For younger students, animated graphics are rated more enjoyable and motivating only when they are low in NFC. If they are high in NFC, animated graphics are not more effective than static graphics in terms of comprehension, interest, and motivation. On the other hand, for older students, self-paced static graphics are more interesting and enjoyable than the animated graphics regardless of their NFC score. These results suggest that the animated graphics are not always beneficial for loaming and motivation.

This study aims to examine the 5th grade students' motivation and the influence of the movivation on their science learning with ARCS strategies. To achieve the goal of the study, two groups were selected from an elementary school at Changwon, in Korea: Treatment Group (TG) and Control Group (CG). TG was trained for applying ARCS strategies, whereas CG were taught in a traditional manner for 13 weeks. Before and after the treatment, both groups answered the questions in the form of PALS in order to know their general motivation of teaming science. In the middle of the treatment, they were also tested to sort out their motivation, which might be occurred during the class, by CIS. After the period of the 13 weeks, the students' motivation were finally measured after their teaming with ARCS strategies. The results are as follows: First, there were significant differences between TG and Cf when motivation was measured by PALS. Second, there was also significant contrast between TG and CG in CIS, which was conducted during the class. TG gained more scores on the ARCS motivation, attention, relevance, confidence, and satisfaction. Third, It has been found that most students recognized the ARCS as one of the positive and interesting teaming strategies. To conclude, the results above show that the ARCS strategies would be very helpful for the 5th grade students to improve their teaming motivation as well as to appeal their interest on their science loaming.

This study analyzes the effectiveness of cooperative learning in the instruction of the underachieved students. The result of this study showed that students who participated in the cooperative teaming tended to exert positive effects on the cognitive and affective(interest, self-confidence, motivation) domains. In the cooperative teaming, the underachieved students were encouraged in mathematics teaming and improved the efficiency of loaming in mathematics.

The purpose of this study is to examine the learner's variables affecting on scientific thinking and scientific process skills. To study this purpose, through the procedure study, the learner's variables were divided into cognitive variable, ego variable, and affective variable, then the questionaire survey through the reconstruction of standardization instrument was made over 120 elementary school fifth grade student in Seoul, Anyang, and Pajoo. The results of this study were as follows: 1) The learner's variables affecting on scientific thinking were cognitive variable and for female students, also affect affective variable. The subordinated catagories of statistically significant degree of explanation were achievement motivation, cognitive level, and cognitive style and another statistically significant correlation were meta-cognition, self regulated learning, self efficacy, and muliple intelligence. 2) The learner's variables affecting on science process skills were cognitive variable and affective variable. And the subordinated catagories of statistically significant degree of explanation were achievement motivation, and cognitive level. And another statistically significant correlation were meta-cognition, self regulated loaming, self efficacy, multiple intelligence, and attribution.

The object of our research is to design and to embody the learning system of numerical concept for the mathematic loaming disabilities. The existing system for the learning disabilities was a simple repeating practice system, repeating the same learning contents to obtain the skill, ignoring the learner's disability situation. This bears a problem that the interest and motivation in the learning media will reduce as the learning goes on. This loaming system offers the learning process of numerical concept by showing an animation file of a real life and offering a concrete mouse manipulating practice environment, so as to maintain the motivation of the learner, giving an instant compensation and feedback. If this system are used in directing the learning disabilities, it will help them to stay motivated and to create a positive teaming attitude by a variety level learning system, supporting suitable speed and learning contents for the learning disabilities individuals.

Nowadays, we can easily find student who study through computer in e-teaming environment. But, although e-teaming system has strong point that overcomes limitation of distance and time, many students give up their study through on-line learning. In this study, we developed On-Line learning motivation model, and designed and developed on-line quiz game loaming system. Thus we can find student's teaming motivation was grow up through student's interaction. Also, we find on-line quif game learning system had many information that explain student's status about their knowledge.
