Learning Motivation in SSEC (South Sulawesi English Community) A Study Based on Self Determination Theory
This study aims to analyze the learning motivation of South Sulawesi
English Community (SSEC) participants using Self-Determination Theory
(SDT) by Deci and Ryan. The main focus of this study is on fulfilling three
primary psychological needs: autonomy, competence, and relatedness. Data
were collected through participant observation and semi-structured
interviews with 10 participants in the SSEC community. The findings of this
study showed that most participants were dominated by extrinsic motivation,
such as academic encouragement, career development, and from parents'
encouragement. However, as they became more involved in the community,
there was a shift to intrinsic motivation. The participants' level of autonomy
was medium because the learning materials were determined by the
community administrators, while their competence and relatedness showed
medium and high levels, as shown by the improvement in English language
skills and strong social support between participants in the SSEC community.
The conclusion of this study is that a collaborative and supportive learning
environment in the SSEC community can increase more independent and
meaningful learning motivation.
