| Summary: | One of the purposes of this study is to find the motivated behaviour of Accounting students towards their studies. This study was conducted on UiTM students studying accounting either as a course or as part of another course
in Shah Alam. Self-efficacy, the expectancy component of motivation, refers to the confidence of the students 'own capabilities in performing a task. In contrast, the value component, task value relates to the reasons for doing the
task. The results indicate that self- regulated learning is inspired by selfefficacy and task value. Students need the skill and knowledge and the will to use them to become self-regulated learners. |
