Abstract

In today's educational landscape, fostering student motivation is essential for effective learning outcomes. Few studies have explored how student motivation affect the interactive activities of a learner. Discussions and group work are few of the interactive activities that a learner engages in. The students in the Education Department at Asia-Pacific International University during the second semester of the school year 2023-2024 is the population of the study. This study is a correlational study. In this study the random sampling technique was used to obtain the samples. There were 128 respondents in this study. Findings state that motivation and gender predict the interactive activities of the respondents.
