analyzed by using the statistical methods of t-test, One-Way ANOVA, and Pearson Product-Moment Correlation.
The conclusions of this study are as follows:
1. There was no significant relationship between students¡¦ motivation to learn and achievement.

The researcher reviewed the instructional design during courses, and also addressed the status quo for these students¡¦ learning situation. Based on the above conclusions, this research proposed concrete suggestions for educators to promote technical and vocational college students¡¦ motivation to learn and achievement.
