Abstract
We employed a new approach in the field of social sciences or psychological aspects of teaching besides using a very common software package that is Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS). Artificial intelligence (AI) is a new domain that the methods of its data analysis could provide the researchers with new insights for their research studies and more innovative ways to analyze their data or verify the data with this method. Also, a very significant element in teaching is teacher motivation that is the trigger that pushes the teachers forward, depending on some internal and external factors. In the current study, seven research questions were designed to explore different aspects of teacher motivation, and they were analyzed via SPSS. The current study also compared the results by using an adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS). Due to the similarity of ANFIS to humans' brain intelligence, the results of the current study could be similar to humans regarding what happens in reality. To do so, the researchers used the validated teacher motivation scale (TMS) and asked participants to fill the questionnaire, and analyzed the results. When the inputs were added to the ANFIS system, the model indicated a high accuracy and prediction capability. The findings also illustrated the importance of the tuning model parameters for the ANFIS method to build up the AI model with a high repeatability level. The differences between the results and conclusions are discussed in detail in the article.

The results indicate that teacher motivation TM (r = − 0.23, p < 0.05), and four of the sub factors including Non human-related (NH) (r = − 0.24, p < 0.05), Student related (SR) (r = − 0.23, p < 0.05), Immediate setting (IS) (r = − 0.16, p < 0.05), and Teacher related (TR) (r = − 0.18, p < 0.05) correlate with age
The problem with machine learning and artificial intelligence is that it has an association function problem
Summary
We employed a new approach in the field of social sciences or psychological aspects of teaching besides using a very common software package that is Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS). Seven research questions were designed to explore different aspects of teacher motivation, and they were analyzed via SPSS. The researchers used the validated teacher motivation scale (TMS) and asked participants to fill the questionnaire, and analyzed the results. Studies revealed that motivation could have two different internal or external sources, and teachers are the main external source of their learners’ motivation[2], which is in harmony with Gardner et al, meaning that teacher motivation is significant due to its impact on student motivation[3]. The researchers designed a questionnaire based on five factors that is EFL teachers’ motivation scale (TMS) in order to measure teacher motivation. The researchers of the mentioned study considered them in designing the TMS
