 What is
MOTIVATION?
Motivation makes the learner get
interested in learning and keeps the
learner engaged in learning.
Students who are motivated to learn are
observed to be wide-eyed and are
eager to be involved in any learning
activity.
Teachers who are motivated are observed
to be fired with genuine enthusiasm
and are full of energy as they face their
students.
Kinds of Motivation
• Intrinsic Motivation
originates from the students’ inner selves or
from factors inherent in the task being
performed

• Extrinsic Motivation
originates from the students’ learning
environment or from factors external to the
students and unrelated to the task at hand.
 How can we
motivate our students?
Motivational Strategies

• Employ a variety of teaching strategies.

• Narrate a short story or recite a poem which is
related to the lesson. Conduct a short contest
revolving around the lesson and give a prize to
the winner.
• From experience, teachers could vividly
remember the kind of motivation that would
work for every group of students. Those that
were effective could be tried again.
• A good sense of humor never fails to elicit
positive reaction as long as it is not overdone.

• A pleasing personality always wins positive

reaction.

• Plan lessons that will arouse their curiosity.

• Engage them in lessons that will keep

everyone moving.
• Introduce an educational game that is
related to the lesson.

• Some teaching strategies that have high

motivating power could be tried.

• Film showing, slide presentations, television

broadcasts learning devices will keep them
highly attentive and concentrated.
 Teachers who are enthusiastic,
energetic, and “happily-charged” are
likely to be joined by equally energized and
joyful students throughout the year.
