Motivation is an inner drive that energizes individuals to initiate and persist in actions toward achieving goals. It can be intrinsic, stemming from within, or extrinsic, driven by external factors like rewards. Highly motivated students exhibit positive attitudes, persist through challenges, and take initiative in their learning without needing external pressure.

will do.

4. • Motivation refers to the initiation,
direction, intensity and persistence of
behavior.
• When we get motivated to do something, it
is not enough that we start working at that
thing but that we get attracted to it.
• Our attraction towards it becomes so
intense that we persist working on it
through thick and thin until its completion.

5. Indicators of a High Level

Your students level of motivation is

things. S/he has takes the initiative to
undertake learning task, assignments
and projects without being pushed
by his or her teachers and parents.

7. Types of
motivation
extrinsicintrinsic

8. It is intrinsic when the source of motivation is from
within the person himself/herself or the activity itself. It
is motivation to engage in an activity for its own sake.
INTRINSIC

9. Motivation is extrinsic when that which motivates a
person is someone or something outside him/her.
Extrinsic motivation is motivation to engage in an
activity as a means to an end.
EXTRINSIC

10. The Role of Extrinsic Motivation
Initially, extrinsic motivation is necessary to
develop the love for learning among poorly
motivated students. If good grades, rewards,
praises or words of encouragement or fear of
failing grade can motivate unmotivated students to
study, Why not? For as long as students are hardly
motivated, external motivation in the form of
rewards, incentives or punishment play a
significant role in the development of motivated
students. Its is expected, however, that these
extrinsic motivational factors be gradually
replaced by internal motivation.

12. In summary, motivated
students have the following
characteristic traits:
• Have positive attitudes
toward school and describe
school as satisfying.

13. • Persist on difficult tasks and
cause few management
problems.

14. • Process information in
depth and excel in
classroom learning
expertise.
