Studies showed that among a variety of factors effective on learning and learners’ academic achievement, motivation plays a prominent and perhaps more important role. So, a proper identification and analysis of learners’ motivation are highly significant in the effectiveness of teaching-learning activities. The present study aimed to investigate the impact of E-bag software usage on the academic motivation of female second grade high school students in biology course in Pakdasht Town in both intelligent and ordinary schools in 2013-14. It was an applied research and was done in quasi-experimental method with pre-test and post-test. The statistical population was all the female students in second grade high school in experimental sciences field. This research has been done through cluster random sampling with 120 students in two experimental and control groups. A framework was used in which 60 students from the intelligent schools and 60 students from ordinary schools were selected. The tool used in this study was academic motivation questionnaire. The experimental group has used the E-bag software for a period of three months while the control group was trained in a traditional method. The data was analyzed using multivariate variance and covariance analysis. The results of the study showed that after using the E-bag software a significant difference in the academic motivation scores of the students in experimental group was seen compared with the control group. The results indicated the positive role of using the E-bag software in better learning and deepening the impact of teaching biology course in the students.
