Motivation is an internal psychological process that activates a person to fulfill their needs by achieving objectives. It arises from internal factors and conditions that initiate and sustain activities. Motivation in school involves arousing, persisting, and directing desirable behavior. It is an internal process controlled by physical conditions that directs pupil behavior, helps them persist, and allows teachers to make students do anything by creating needs and objectives. Motivation occurs when an internal need drives a person to engage in an activity, like studying when it becomes a pupil's need.
