Özet
In the post-pandemic era, the importance of Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) has become increasingly crucial as students navigate the emotional and psychological challenges brought on by disrupted learning and social isolation. This study explores the relationship between SEL and motivation, focusing on intrinsic motivation, extrinsic motivation, and self-efficacy for learning and aims to assess the levels of SEL competencies and motivation in Grade 4 to Grade 6 learners (N = 107) in private schools in the Philippines. Using the Motivational Learning Style Questionnaire (NCRIPTAL, 1991; ????≥0.93) and the Social and Emotional Competence Questionnaire (Zhou & Ee, 2012; ????≥0.80) data was collected and analyzed using a descriptive correlation design, revealing that most participants exhibit average SEL competency. In terms of motivation, majority of learners demonstrate high levels of intrinsic motivation, extrinsic motivation, and self-efficacy for learning and performance. The findings highlight a moderate positive correlation between SEL and intrinsic motivation (r(105) = .42, p < .001), as well as a weak positive correlation between SEL and extrinsic motivation (r(105) = .23, p < .05). Moreover, a strong positive correlation (r(105) = .61, p < .001) was found between SEL and Self-Efficacy for Learning and Performance. These results suggest that SEL skills play a critical role in enhancing learners’ motivation and education engagement. Consequently, schools are encouraged to integrate SEL development into their curricula to foster increased motivation and interest in learning. Additionally, teachers are urged to adopt effective strategies for incorporating SEL into their teaching practices to support student growth in both emotional and motivational aspects of learning.
