Exploring Achievement Motivation in Light of Some Variables

Abstract

This study examined the level of achievement motivation among Arab students at Technion University Institute of Technology in Haifa, with a focus on gender, specialization, and academic year differences. The study sample consisted of (384) Arab students at the Technion- Institute of Technology in Haifa. For the purposes of the study, data was collected using the achievement motivation scale (Othman et al., 2014).  Results showed an average level of achievement motivation among the students, with no statistically significant differences based on gender or specialization.  However, there were notable differences based on academic year, particularly between first year and fourth-year students.  The results of the research were discussed in the light of the theoretical framework and previous studies. The study recommends the development of training programs and workshops to enhance achievement motivation among students.
