Abstract
The present work explores relationships among motivation, the use of learning strategies and anxiety. In this research 93 university students took part; 84 females and 9 males, 19 to 26 years old. Obtained results indicate existence of positive and significant correlations between motivation and the use of learning strategies. More motivated students organise their personal activities better, they are more active during lectures and they elaborate materials better compared to the less motivated students. Anxiety influences the motivation process, so that more anxious students are more motivated than the less anxious ones. The data confirm that moderate levels of anxiety can influence the learning process in a positive way, enhancing positive effects on activity and outcomes.
