MOTIVATION
Module 19
Motivation is “a process whereby a
goal-directed activity is instigated
and sustained”
Schunk, Pintrich & Meece, 2008
What is Motivation?
Motivation is the force that energizes a learner to
do what s/he is expected to do. It is an activation to
action. A learner’s level of motivation is reflected in
his choice of action, and in the intensity and
persistence of his/her effort.
A highly motivated learner accomplishes and
performs well in contrast to an unmotivated or a
poorly motivated one who seems not to have any
desire to accomplish things or perform well. That
force can be intensified by factors outside a learner
(extrinsic) or factors inside him/her or by the
activity itself (intrinsic).
Indicators of a High Level of Motivation
Students who are motivated have the following
characteristics (Stipek, 1996, 2002 cited by
Wooltook, 2013):
• Have positive attitudes towards school and
describe school as satisfying.
• Persist on difficult tasks and cause few
management problems.
• Process information in depth and excel in
classroom learning expertise.
Extrinsic
Intrinsic
Types of Motivation
Extrinsic Motivation
Extrinsic motivational factors include rewards,
incentives, praises or words of encouragements,
approval of significant others like teachers,
parents, peer group or their opposites – fear of
punishment, withdrawal of privileges, censure, and
ostracism.
Intrinsic Motivation
Intrinsic motivation is shown in the enjoyment of
the activity itself and the inner conviction of the
learner that such things are the right things to do
in order to realize a personal goal or a life dream.
Intrinsic motivation yields more advantages than
extrinsic motivation
Role of Extrinsic Motivation
Extrinsic motivation plays an indispensable
function when a learner is not yet intrinsically
motivated to learn. For optimum learning, this
extrinsic motivation, however, must gradually take
the back seat as intrinsic motivation comes to the
fore.
