Abstract

This qualitative case study explores the parents’ motivational strategies in modular learning of fifteen stay-at-home parents during the school year 2021-2022. Based on the findings, the challenges experienced by parents in motivating their children are difficulty understanding the module contents, managing time, the presence of distractions at home, too much dependence and stubbornness among children, and difficulty retrieving, completing, and submitting the modules. To cope with these challenges, the parents decided to set a schedule, give leisure time, ask for help from more knowledgeable other, and search on the internet to accomplish the modules. In conclusion, the parents’ motivational strategies in modular learning are the giving of rewards, punishment, and words of encouragement. However, despite these strategies, the children are still forced to answer their modules. The researchers suggest that to sustain the children’s learning motivation, parents should consider developing a more active and volitional form of extrinsic motivation.
