Abstract

This research was aimed at finding out the perceptions and predictors that motivate students to study science under the realm of Self-Determination Theory (SDT). Results revealed that students have average perception of satisfaction in terms of personal-related factors such as autonomy, competence and relatedness and high level of intrinsic motivation in terms of science motivation. Multiple linear regression analysis showed that teacher’s competence, parental support, teacher’s classroom management and autonomy have been found to significantly predict science motivation. Intrinsic motivation emerged as best predictor of student’s intention to take Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) course.
