Motivation and Ways to Increase Motivation

Abstract

The article highlights major points in the significance of increasing students' motivation, also, of obtaining strategies and powers of motivation. Motivation is an impulse, a desire, the inner process of having a tendency to cause a person to act in a particular way to achieve a desirable goal in life. A student who works hard, who deals with the work in a refreshingly appealing way throughout the academic year and who is orientated towards getting high points, can be characterized as highly-motivated. Accordingly, motivation reflects students' abilities and aptitudes to work in a successful way. The surrounding, including parents, peers, attractive academic atmosphere also defines students' motivation. However, teachers are supposed to play major role in giving students high motivation.
