الملخص EN

This study examined the relationship among learners' motivation, gender, and completion of MOOCs in Saudi Arabia.

Keller's ARCS motivation model was used as the theoretical framework.

In this non-experimental survey study, 238 Saudi learners of MOOCs completed the Instructional Materials Motivation Survey (IMMS).

Chi-square tests, independent samples t-tests, multiple regression, and logistic regression were used to analyze the data.

The findings showed a low dropout rate and a significant relationship between gender and motivation in MOOCs.

Also, females indicated higher motivation levels than males.

In addition, there was a positive relationship between learners' motivation and completion of MOOCs.
