Then, the questionnaires were used to collect data for analysis, which consisted of basic background, learning motivation, and learning effects. 73 participants filled up the questionnaires. Although only 62 copies of questionnaire were valid, the usable returned rate reached 86%. The data was analyzed by descriptive statistics, t-tests, one-way ANOVA, Pearson’s correlation, and stepwise multiple regression.
