dc.description.abstractThere is a fallacious but commonly held belief that Technical Vocational Education and Training (TVET) is a field for academically inadequate students who need skills for employment. This negative perception could serve as a discouragement to TVET students. However, these students remain committed to attending TVET institutions up to graduation, which suggests that something motivates them. Studies have shown that, intrinsic motivation commits students to learning. Therefore, the main objective of this study was to establish whether intrinsic motivation is a driving force in the academic performance of TVET students. The study reviewed literature related to intrinsic motivation in learning, and the negative attitudes society has towards the TVET system of education. The study used cross sectional research design. As such, Mwangaza College, Nakuru, and Don Bosco Boys Town Technical Institute, Nairobi, were conveniently sampled. 182 respondents in Nairobi, and 166 respondents in Nakuru were randomly sampled (155 females and 193 males). The Intrinsic Motivation Inventory, with a demographic section, was used to collect data. Descriptive analysis of Intrinsic Motivation Scores across the Sampled Institutions showed that the overall average level of intrinsic motivation among TVET students was high (104.53/126). However, result from a one way ANOVA found no link between intrinsic motivation and academic performance. Students with B had the highest intrinsic motivation (M=105.6, SD=11.5), and students with D had nearly the same intrinsic motivation (M=102.0, SD=15.5) with B students. This result suggests that high academic performance could be a blend of intrinsic motivation and other factors not tested by this study.en_US
