With the increasing level of internationalization in higher education, the number of international students in mainland China is rapidly increasing. However, limited research has considered that student results may be affected by a reduced motivation to learn. Therefore, the aim of this research is to explore the effect of the learning motivation on the learning outcomes of international students and the moderating role of learning experience. A sample of 130 international students from 23 countries studying in mainland China was analyzed. The study found a significant correlation between the learning motivations and international students' learning outcomes. It was also determined that learning experience has significantly enhances the relationship between learning motivation and the learning outcomes of international students. This study contributes to the higher education literature on learning motivation by students and learning outcomes.
随着高等教育国际化程度的提高,中国大陆的国际学生数量正在迅速增加。然而,有限的研究认为学生成绩可能会受到学习动机下降的影响。因此,本研究的目的是探讨学习动机对国际学生学习成果的影响以及学习经历的调节作用。对来自23个国家在中国大陆学习的130名国际学生样本进行了分析。研究发现学习动机与国际学生的学习成果之间存在显著相关性。还确定学习经历显著增强了学习动机与国际学生学习成果之间的关系。本研究为关于学生学习动机和学习成果的高等教育文献做出了贡献。
