| Summary: | This study holds two aims, which were; first to see the importance of self-compassion in student, especially in terms of learning by looking at the relationships between self-compassion and academic performance (CGPA). Second, it aimed to see the effect of self-compassion on students' motivation in learning a course where we are able to predict students' motivation towards a particular course. The data was collected from 321 undergraduate students in IIUM using survey as the method with two questionnaires, which were; The Self-Compassion Scale, and the Learning Self-Regulation Questionnaire (SRQ-L). In this present study, it was found that; self-compassion is correlated to the intrinsic motivation of the students. It was also found that; intrinsic motivation has a strong relationship with the academic performance of the students. However, although self-compassion can predict the intrinsic motivation of the students; it was found that self-compassion does not have a big impact towards the academic performance of the students as it was found too, not able to predict the academic performance of the students. |
