Abstract :

This study applied self-determination theory to understand the roles of teacher’s behavioral control and care in student learning outcomes. The research explored the relationship between components of classroom management and academic performance via the mediating role of motivation to learn of students in Business English classes at Ba Ria – Vung Tau University. By applying qualitative research combined with quantitative research (mixed method), this research tested the relationship between classroom management (teacher behavioral control, teacher care), motivation to learn and academic performance. The research results indicated that teacher behavioral control and teacher care have positive relationships with motivation to learn and academic performance; motivation to learn is positively related to academic performance. In addition, motivation to learn plays a partial mediator role between classroom management and academic performance. Finally, the study proposed some implications for administrators and teachers in improving classroom management to increase the motivation to learn and the academic performance of students in Business English classes at Ba Ria – Vung Tau University.
