This paper analyzes the learning motivation of different student groups based on the Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM). It compares the participation characteristics of different learning motivation clusters, the differences in the performance of courses among students with different learning motivations, and the potential connections between learning motivation and learners’ educational levels. In conclusion, applying the Gaussian Mixture Model in courses can help teachers better understand students’ learning situations and needs, grasp the characteristics and patterns of the curriculum, assess teaching effects and issues, and thereby improve the quality and learning outcomes.
