Abstract

In this paper, we describe a case study exploring two topics: understanding students´ effective behaviors for e-learning and investigating the different types of intrinsic and extrinsic motivation behind student behaviors. A series of individual data were acquired from a learning management system, e-learning system, and qualification exam results, and statistically analyzed. The results demonstrated that students who completed the e-learning contents scored higher in the qualification exam and had a stronger intrinsic motivation to acquire self-respect (gaining confidence by passing the exam), even if they had less interest in programming.
