Elemen motivasi pembelajaran dan strategi pembelajaran yang mempengaruhi pencapaian matematik pelbagai etnik

Mathematics achievement is a measurement of knowledge required in the development of a country. The purpose of this study is to identify mathematical achievement score profile, learning motivation profile and learning strategy profile
among various ethnic groups in Miri, Sarawak. This study examines the equation modeling of motivation, learning strategy toward mathematic achievement. Instructional motivational instruments were modified from the Motivation Strategy Questionnaire for Learning Questionnaire (MSLQ) by Pintrich, Smith, Garcia and McKeachie (1991). The study involved 602 students randomly selected in various ethnic at 13 secondary schools, Miri, Sarawak.

the model of measurement and structural equation model. Overall, the mathematical achievement of the four ethnic groups is modest with mean 1.95. The findings show that the mean achievement of ethnic Chinese-Sarawak mathematics is high. The highest point for the Malay-Sarawak ethnic is the dimensions of extrinsic orientation goals, Chinese-Sarawak ethnicity, Dayak and Orang Ulu are the dimensions of the
