The respondents are the students at the School of Tourism of Changchun University Quota sampling was applied in the selection of the respondents. Data interpretation indicated that the students' overall motivational experience is positive and they generally feel motivated to engage in the learning process, driven by the opportunities for autonomy, the sense of competence, and the relationships they have in the classroom. The overall engagement score is positive, indicating that most students perceive themselves as engaged in their learning, combining efforts across the emotional, cognitive, and behavioral dimensions.
