Throughout the coding process, wecompiled transcripts and field notes with the help of hyperRESEARCH.

. There is aseparable outcome one is trying to obtain or avoid, such as a reward or punishment. Commonexternal factors are grades or evaluations, which are metrics that have been constructed to“measure” a student’s success and serve as motivation for improvement. Another type ofexternal factor can be derived from another person, such as the opinion of a mentor, friend, orpeer. Intrinsic motivation comes from internal drives and is defined as doing an activity for itsinherent satisfaction [12]. These actions reflect ideas like core values, personal interests, andone's sense of morality. Intrinsic and extrinsic motivation are considered to be part of the "locusof causality," meaning they are the perceived sources of motivation.The study of rural
