Affective factors such as motivation, attitude and
anxiety are very important in learning realization of people. Motivation is a situation which determines
the willingness degree of attending an activity. Motivation contains belief,
inner power and reactive behaviors to warning. Motivation is necessary for
individuals to act as cognitively. Therefore it is very important for teachers
knowing in advance of their students’ motivation degree. If the teachers know
the reason of their students’ low motivation to lessons, they can improve the
motivation of their students. Anxiety is also a variable which affects the
learning negatively. Science anxiety can be defined as a fear oriented learning
science. In this research it is aimed that the analysis of the relation between
motivation and anxiety variables which are highly effective on learning. For
numerical analysis we studied 652 high school students in Turkey. The data is
collected with chemistry motivation scale and chemistry laboratory anxiety
scale. The study has been designed in relational survey model. The correlation
between the variables are examined using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM).
Structural equation modeling provides a very general and convenient framework
for statistical analysis that includes several traditional multivariate
procedures, for example factor analysis, correlation analysis, discriminant
analyses, as special cases. With this study we conclude that there is a
negative and significant correlation between chemistry motivation and chemistry
laboratory anxiety. This result can be interpreted that the person with low
chemistry laboratory anxiety has high chemistry motivation.
