The goal of this study is to find a method for enhancing the learning motivation of undermotivated pupils in elementary school. To this end, the effectiveness of the groupuscule learning method involving imitation was examined in the context of a national language class. The undermotivated child due to poor reading and comprehension skills learned reading with two highly−motivated children having good reading and comprehension skills. She was urged to imitate the ideas of group members if she had difficulty in reading. The rate of raising a hand(to present her ideas)and the frequency of whispering were measured in six lessons and compared with the values of baseline to estimate her change in the degree of motivation for learning. The results showed this groupuscule learning method involving imitation had enhanced her motivation for learning of reading. This effect seemed to suggest that the undermotivated child had imitated both of the thinking process and attitude for learning of highly−motivated members through the group learning and consequently she began to understand learning contents and improve the attitude for learning.
