Abstract—The aim of this research is to explore the temporal path analysis model of intrinsic and extrinsic motivations in cooperative learning environment. The participants are grade 7th junior high students (12~14 years old, 15 males, 13 females, 28 junior high school students) and the learning content is about the linear equations in mathematical within cooperative learning environments. This study will discuss the possible factors of intrinsic and extrinsic motivations which may inspire learning motivations in cooperative learning environment. Furthermore, we hope to support some encouraged strategies which were based on path analysis model for teachers to enhance learners’ situated learning motivations. Furthermore, we want to find the interactions of intrinsic and extrinsic motivation to show motivational synergy.
