Abstract

     The  purpose  of  this  study  was  to  explore  variables  affecting  students’  motivation  in  online  learning  during  Covid-19.  The  sample  were  375 undergraduate  students  who  were  studying  at  Burapha  University  International  College  during  Fall  2021  semester.  The  Quota  sampling  was  applied.  The  data  were  collected  by  using  a  structured  questionnaire  on  a  5-point  Likert  scale.  Stepwise  multiple  linear  regression  analysis  was  utilized  to  test  hypotheses.  The findings showed that  self-directed  learning  was  the  best  predictor  of  online  learning  motivation.  While  gender  and year  of  study  were  not  predictors  of  online  learning  motivation.
