Abstract

The capacity to learn is generally related to the cognitive aspects presented by an individual. However, the affective and motivational factors are important to the learning process as well. Therefore, the aim of this paper is to investigate the relationship between affective-motivational behavior and learning. To this end, more or less 60 children, being boys and girls, will not only be subjected to a procedure of assisted evaluation which aims to measure the learning potential, but also observed in a systematic way using a checklist which is based on the checklist of Affective-Motivational Behavior Assessment (ACAMI). Then, the observation data collected amassed from both checklists will be correlated to ascertain the outcome of the research.
