Student’s motivation after returning to University Malaysia Kelantan City Campus

Abstract

Motivation is dropping due to Malaysian Movement Control Order (MCO) due to COVID-19. This situation also affects students’ motivation because they have to change their way of learning from face-to-face to online learning. Therefore, this study looks at students' motivation after returning to the Universiti Malaysia Kelantan City Campus. This study tries to achieve three research objectives and three research questions. For that purpose, 327 students from the hospitality, tourism, and wellness departments at the Universiti Malaysia Kelantan took part in this survey. The research was done descriptively, utilizing an online questionnaire to collect respondents' replies. The study's results reveal that student motivation after returning to university is modest, although respondents feel that they effectively overcame problems, collaboration, and appreciation throughout the learning session. According to the results, the campus is highly significant as a center and site of learning to promote student motivation. Furthermore, intrinsic motivators for students, such as challenge, collaboration, and student recognition, may be discovered among students at Universiti Malaysia Kelantan. In conclusion, we have learned through this coursework that student motivation aspects are very significant and beneficial to students after they return to university.
