Abstract

Objective: The present research aimed to compare the effectiveness of educational packages on time management, motivational strategies, and self-regulation strategies on academic achievement motivation in female elementary school students in the second stage of elementary education.

Methods and Materials: The research design was quasi-experimental with a pre-test, post-test, and a two-month follow-up. The statistical population included all students with test anxiety in the academic year 2022-2023 in the second stage of elementary education in Chadegan city. After administering the Test Anxiety Questionnaire by Abolghasemi et al. (1996), 72 students with test anxiety were purposefully selected and randomly assigned to 3 experimental groups and 1 control group, with 18 students in each group. For the experimental groups, the time management and motivational strategy training were each conducted in 8 sessions of 60 minutes, while the self-regulation strategy was implemented over 8 sessions of 90 minutes. The control group received no intervention. All four groups responded to the Achievement Motivation Questionnaire by Ali and McInerney (2001) at three stages: pre-test, post-test, and follow-up. The data were analyzed using repeated measures analysis of variance (ANOVA).

Findings: The results showed that the educational packages on time management, motivational strategies, and self-regulation strategies effectively increased academic achievement motivation (p<0.05). According to the Bonferroni test, there was no significant difference between the effectiveness of the packages in both post-test and follow-up stages (p>0.05).

Conclusion: Based on the results of the present research, it can be recommended to managers, teachers, and counselors to use these three educational packages to enhance academic achievement motivation and improve students' academic performance.
