Learners’ Academic Achievement in Rachuonyo South Sub-County, Homa bay County. The objective was to find
out the influence of teachers external regulation motivation on learners academic achievement. The study used
parallel convergent design of the Mixed Method Approach and was informed by Self-Determination Theory Needs
Perspective. The target populations were 81 head teachers, 324 class eight teachers and 1 SCQASO and sample of
24 head teachers, 97 class eight teachers and 1 SCQASO was established which were selected through purposive,
stratified random and saturated sampling techniques respectively. Questionnaires and interview schedules were
employed to collect data. Content validity was achieved through supervisor guidance while face validity was

Quantitative data collected was analyzed using descriptive statistics, while qualitative data was analyzed using
thematic analysis. On the concern of influence of External Regulation Motivation for Teachers on Learners’
academic achievement, study found that teachers lacked external regulation motivation because they are not
motivated through monetary incentives, promotions, sponsored in-service trainings and educational tours. The
study concludes that most teachers were not being motivated to put extra effort for leadership roles, nor given
monetary rewards and free meals by their employers or school administrations at school, through promotions and
sponsored in-service trainings. This implies that increase in extrinsic motivation of teachers helps to influence
teachers’ motivation which may promote learners academic achievement. The study recommends that the
Ministry of education should organize workshops, seminars, educational tours which are sponsored and monetary
rewards offered to teachers. Teachers Service Commission should work on incentive salary and remuneration
packages to increase teachers’ extrinsic motivation. A study on Relationship between intrinsic motivation and
learners’ performance in primary schools would expound the present study | en_US |
