The document discusses motivation as the process by which goal-directed activity is instigated and sustained. Motivation provides impetus and direction for action and makes impetus concrete. It is something that gets people going, keeps them working, and helps them complete tasks. Motivation comes from the Latin word "movere" meaning to move. It influences learning and performance, as what students do and learn influences their motivation. There are intrinsic and extrinsic types of motivation. Intrinsic deals with personal passions and self-esteem, while extrinsic deals with outside motivations. Freud and Skinner proposed theories of motivation relating to physical energy and reinforcing consequences. Thorndike's law of readiness also discusses motivation. Group motivation operates similarly
