The Targeted Teaching Strategies for Students with Different Learning Motivations in the University Economics Education

In this paper, an investigation is made to reveal the different learning motivations in the studying of economics for different students. The investigation results show that students with higher score always have stronger intrinsic motivation. Based on the above investigation, we put forward some recommendations to adjust our teaching strategies to improve our teaching effect. Teachers should teach students in accordance with their aptitude and shouldn't follow the same pattern. In particular, for student lack of strong intrinsic studying motivations, teachers should firstly strengthen student's intrinsic studying motivation, and reform the assessment system.
