            Abstract

            Secondary schools require continuous and sustainable efforts from all stakeholders to ensure quality and inclusive education. There have been several research studies aimed at addressing the issue of education quality, stating lack of motivation is a significant challenge to overcome. This study collected relevant data from students, teachers, parents, and administration faculty based on Slovin's formula and analyzed it in SPSS and Python correlation heatmap to explain the abstract nature of the students’ academic motivation at the selected school. The collected data were analyzed in descriptive, thematic, and inferential statistics and presented using graphs, tables, and narrations for proper data representation. The study showed that Dr. Haddis Alemayehu Secondary School's environment is the prominent factor along with teacher perceived qualification and perceived exam effectiveness that contributed to the decreased academic motivation of students. This finding will be instrumental in utilizing school resources for improving the school environment, upskilling teachers, and producing more effective exams to measure students’ mastery of a topic. Doing so would motivate students and could be applied to similar government schools across Addis Ababa.

Les données recueillies ont été analysées dans des statistiques descriptives, thématiques et inférentielles et présentées à l’aide de graphiques, de tableaux et de narrationspour une représentation correcte des données.L’étude a montré que l’environnement de l’école secondaire Dr. Haddis Alemayehu est le facteur le plus important, ainsi que la qualification perçue par les enseignants et l’efficacité perçue des examens, qui ont contribué à la baisse de la motivation scolaire des élèves.Cette découverte sera déterminante dans l’utilisation des ressources de l’école pour améliorer l’environnement scolaire, améliorer les compétences des enseignants et produire des examens plus efficaces pour mesurer la maîtrise d’un sujet par les élèves.Cela motiverait les élèves et pourrait être appliqué à des écoles publiques similaires à Addis-Abeba.

            It sounds like an email sent to the Principal, that was turned into a research paper.
