Achievement motivation, Learning behavior, Gender differences, COVID-19Abstract
This study aimed to describe and compare the achievement motivation and learning behavior based on male and female students in Indonesia. Respondents have involved 1052 female high school students and 637 male high school students using the cluster random sampling technique. Data were collected using a scale of achievement motivation and learning behavior with item validity of 0.3, and each had Cronbach's alpha reliability of 0.811 and 0.866 and analyzed with descriptive and Mann-Whitney tests. The results showed significant differences in the level of achievement motivation and learning behavior of male and female students. Female students showed better achievement motivation and learning behavior than male students. This study recommends the need for guidance and counseling services to increase achievement motivation and student learning behavior based on gender differences.
