| Summary: | This study aimed to assess the relationship between cultural perceptions and academic motivation, and academic achievement. This is because culture plays a significant role in influencing an individual’s beliefs and behaviors, which in turn influences motivation and achievement. However, past literatures found that some cultures, specifically collectivistic cultures are shifting towards individualism as a result of technological advancement, modernization and globalization. Therefore, a quantitative research on the relationship between cultural perceptions and academic motivation, and between cultural perceptions and academic achievement was conducted. The instruments used was Cultural Worldview Scale (CW scale) and Academic Motivation Scale (AMS) alongside with the respondents’ CGPA. Results showed that there is no significant relationship between cultural perceptions and academic motivations, and there is no significant relationship between cultural perceptions and academic achievement. These results contradict past literatures on culture and motivation and accomplishment; thus, future related studies are necessary to examine the relation between culture and education. |
