Abstract
As in many countries of the world, online education has been implemented in Turkey in recent years and related applications are becoming more widespread day by day. The fact that it can take place anytime and anywhere, eliminate the limitations of time and space, and provide lifelong learning can be described as the most basic factors in the spread of online education. In addition, the rapid increase in the number of students who have to take online education due to the Covid-19 global pandemic, which has affected the whole world recently, might be thought to have made the issue of learner motivation in relevant environments gain importance. This study is a narrative review study based on the literature review conducted to examine learner motivation in online education in terms of self-efficacy and self-regulation structures. As a result of the study, it was revealed that learners in online education should determine their own goals and motivate themselves in line with their own studying principles in this process. In addition, it is concluded that learners should take their own learning responsibilities in online environments in line with their own interests and abilities. It is also concluded that educators, educational institutions and instructional designers should obtain more information about learner perceptions, motivations and learning strategies, and they should use the information they have obtained in online learning environments to serve the learners to achieve their learning goals before an online course is started. It is thought that more research is needed on how learner motivation in online education environments is affected by self-efficacy and self-regulation. Furthermore, it is thought that the research will guide researchers working in the field of motivation in online learning in terms of improving and developing the motivation of learners in online education.
