This research paper investigates the relationship between motivation and the utilization of metacognitive and resource management strategies among Bachelor of Science in Accountancy (BSA) students. The study seeks to assess how varying levels of motivation impact these cognitive processes and, consequently, the overall learning strategies employed by BSA students. Through a comprehensive literature review and empirical research, the paper shows the interplay between motivation and cognitive regulation strategies.This research focuses on the effect of motivation on the learning strategies of BSA student using Pintrich and De Groot’s Motivated Strategies for Learning Questionnaire. The research employs a quantitative method approach and looks for a causal relationship between motivation and learning strategies of BSA students with the value components, expectancy components, and affective components of motivation as independent variables and learning strategies as the dependent variable. Learning strategies are further classified as cognitive metacognitive and resource management strategies. The results of quantitative analysis show that value components and expectancy components can positively predict BSA students' cognitive and metacognitive strategies. Moreover, the results of the regression model indicate that the predictors (value components, expectancy components, and affective components) can explain the variance in resource management strategies of BSA students.Understanding how motivation influences cognitive regulation processes is essential for educators and institutions aiming to enhance the learning experience for BSA students. By promoting and sustaining motivation, educators can foster the development of effective learning strategies, ultimately improving academic performance and long-term success for BSA students.
