Abstract
The present study was designed to compare the intrinsic motivation and self-regulation of students of government and private schools. This was a quantitative, cross-sectional survey research with a comparative research design. A total of three hundred (n=300) students of government schools (n=150) and private schools (n=150) were the sample for this research. The sample was recruited from ninth and tenth-grade students of schools at Shaheed Benazirabad. Intrinsic Motivation Inventory and Academic Self-Regulation Questionnaire (SRQ-A) scales were used to collect the data. Our research adds up insight into the relationship between intrinsic motivation and academic self-regulation among secondary school students in Shaheed Benazirabad. The finding of the study established that the intrinsic motivation status was higher among of government school-going students. The difference across gender was also signified; the female students were intrinsically motivated more than male students. The findings of the study will help the academic sector, as well as parents and teachers of Shaheed Benazirabad, to better understand the problems of school students and the impact of the learning environment and problems of students especially in understanding and highlighting the need for awareness and training of self-disciplining to students.
