Objective: This study aimed to investigate the effect of educational multimedia combined with metacognitive and traditional teaching methods on psychology students’ motivation for progress and attitudes toward their lessons at Arak University.
Methods: A quasi-experimental design with pretest-posttest and control group was employed. The statistical population included all 240 psychology students at Arak University, from which 44 students were selected through simple random sampling. Participants were randomly assigned to two groups: (1) metacognitive teaching with multimedia and (2) traditional teaching with multimedia. Data were collected using the Hermans Achievement Motivation Questionnaire (reliability = 0.84) and the Attitude to Lessons Questionnaire (reliability = 0.87).
Results: Multivariate covariance analysis revealed that the experimental group outperformed the control group in achievement motivation (p = 0.004) and attitude toward the lesson (p = 0.011), indicating statistically significant improvements.
Conclusions: The findings suggest that multimedia can enhance motivation and attitudes in psychology students, particularly when combined with appropriate teaching methods. Educators are encouraged to carefully select teaching strategies when integrating multimedia to promote deeper and more sustainable learning outcomes.
