I) Academic Amotivation

Introduction:

Academic amotivation contributed to maladaptive functioning and negatively affected the academic engagement of adolescent students. This research study aimed to study the application of the Miracle Question (MQ) in facilitating adolescents with academic amotivation. The present work also demonstrated the underlying theories of academic amotivation (i.e., Self-Determination Theory) and MQ (i.e., Solution-Focused Brief Therapy). A three-part process model and practical effects of MQ were included for practitioners such as school counselors and teachers to assist adolescents better. The main implication of this paper is to highlight the potential of MQ to stand alone as a primary technique in school counseling and teaching practices.  More qualitative research on school-based interventions using MQ is recommended.
