Abstract
The objectives of the research were to explore the level of student‟s intrinsic motivation; to assess the
effect of mind mapping technique on student‟s intrinsic motivation; and to assess the difference in the
use of mind mapping technique by students and in the level of student‟s intrinsic motivation on the
basis of gender and age. The research was quantitative in nature. All the 2889 students, from 6
different departments of social sciences, enrolled in spring 2018 at Islamabad campus of a public
university of Pakistan were considered as a population of the study, and data were collected from 600
students through two structured questionnaires. Both descriptive (percentage and correlation) and
inferential statistics (test, ANOVA and regression) were used to address the objectives. Main findings
indicate that the independent variable (mind mapping technique) had a 30% effect on the dependent
variable (student motivation), and this effect was statistically significant at 99.9% level of confidence.
A statistically significant difference was found in the use of mind mapping technique on the basis of
gender, female students were more frequently using it as compared to male students. Majority of
students had above average to the excellent level of intrinsic motivation, however, no significant
difference was found in the student intrinsic motivation on the basis of gender.
