Background: Taking into account the breadth of the concept of motivation and its importance for nursing students, it is imperative to clarify the concept of academic motivation. This study is an attempt to analyze the concept of academic motivation in nursing students.
Materials And Methods: The study was carried out in 2018 as a combined literature review and qualitative research. Hybrid concept analysis model was employed to clarify the concept at three phases. At theoretical phase, articles indexed in credential databases were searched using keywords "academic motivation" and "nursing." Totally, 30 articles were analyzed. At fieldwork phase, 12 nursing students were interviewed. At conclusive phase, the findings of the two earlier phases were analyzed. After determining the attributes, antecedents, and consequences, a final definition of academic motivation in nursing student was introduced.
Results: Academic motivation has six main attributes including "being an internal process," "purpose oriented," "variable," "unique," "driving force of educational performance," and "facilitator of learning and educational achievement." In addition, antecedents and consequences of academic motivation in the nursing students were revealed and a general definition of the concept was codified.
Conclusions: Academic motivation of nursing students is a broad and multi-dimensional concept that is affected by various personal, family, social, educational, and professional factors. Moreover, it is a factor in achieving academic success, better quality of learning, creativity, academic satisfaction, reduction of anxiety, continuing education, and training competent nurses.

Evaluating academic motivation among Chinese secondary EFL learners: validation and measurement invariance.

Inspired by self-determination theory (SDT), the Academic Motivation Scale (AMS) was developed to measure students' learning motivation. While the AMS has been widely validated and used in educational contexts, it has generally overlooked the domain-specific nature of academic motivation, particularly in learning English as a foreign language (EFL) in China, home to the world's largest population of EFL learners. This study sought to adapt the AMS and substantiate its validity using both within-network and between-network approaches with a sample of 1,390 Chinese secondary EFL learners.

This study investigated the perspectives of artificial intelligence (AI) language models on the complex issue of sexting among adolescents, comparing their ability to mediate and manage quality communication on the topic with traditional parental mediation strategies. Drawing on a survey of 472 parents, the research compared parental attitudes, communication patterns, and mediation approaches to the outputs generated by four AI systems. The findings revealed that AI models emphasize to emphasize restrictive mediation strategies and highlight the perceived susceptibility and severity of sexting, while parental responses were varied.

Generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) presents novel approaches to enhance motivation, curriculum structure and development, and learning and retrieval processes for both learners and instructors. Though a focus for this emerging technology is academic misconduct, we sought to leverage GenAI in curriculum structure to facilitate educational outcomes. For instructors, GenAI offers new opportunities in course design and management while reducing time requirements to evaluate outcomes and personalizing learner feedback.

Current work suggests that basic psychological needs are related to higher intrinsic motivation, which in turn, can promote more positive academic outcomes. However, few studies have examined how perceptions around one's abilities in science, engineering, technology, and math (STEM) are related to intrinsic motivation and what role needs satisfaction plays in this association. This study assessed adolescents' (N = 285, 56.
