Abstract

With the improvement of China’s education penetration rate, The average education level of people is rising. The majority of students are satisfied to have finished the required schooling stage and wish to pursue higher education by working toward a bachelor’s, master’s, or doctoral degree. According to psychology’s theory of motivation, motivation mostly takes the form of a personal desire or purpose to work toward a certain objective. It means that people will behave differently at different levels of self-awareness to pursue a certain expected purpose. As a result, learning motivation has a significant impact on college students’ academic success. Junior students’ academic success is also somewhat influenced by their attitude toward improving their academic credentials. Based on that, this research collects information by issuing questionnaires and collecting data and then uses SPSS statistical software to conduct reliability and validity testing and related regression analysis on the surveyed data. The results reveal that growth motivation and learning initiative play a mediating role in the impact of school admission status on academic performance. This research helps to guide students to set goals, improve students’ learning motivation, improve the quality of university education, and ensure better professionalism and development of college students.
