Abstract
Motivation and resilience are necessary at this challenging time for students to thrive; hence, this study intended to determine if the college students’ achievement motivation and academic resilience have implications on the performance of their visual art. A modified Achievement Motivation scale questionnaire from the constructs of Richard Lynn (1969) and a modified Academic Resilience Scale-30 (ARS-30) from the constructs of Simon Cassidy (2016) were utilized. Visual Arts Performance was determined on the basis of the creative works of art in terms of drawing, sculpting, and collage making. Descriptive correlational design was employed. To organize the data, descriptive statistics was employed to determine their level of achievement motivation, academic resilience, and art performance. Pearson’s Product Moment Correlation was utilized to measure the association between the participants’ achievement motivation and their academic resilience. Multiple Regression was also employed to ascertain if the participants’ achievement motivation and academic resilience significantly predict their visual arts performance. The study's findings show that the students' achievement motivation and academic resilience were high and their visual arts performance was very good. Moreover, the findings show that achievement motivation and academic resilience are significantly associated and these predicted the visual arts performance of the students in the context of this new normal. The researcher concludes that Achievement Motivation and Academic Resilience are significant predictors of visual arts performance. This study recommends that the university administrators may continue providing the instructors with opportunities to enhance their knowledge and awareness in developing students’ achievement motivation and academic resilience.
