How the learners push themselves to learn and how they value learning
are the concerns of the motivational factors. Meanwhile, the affective factors
relate to the attitude, feelings, and emotions that learners put into the learning
task.
1. What and how much are learned are influenced by the learner’s
motivation.
Motivation to learn is influenced by the individual’s emotional
states, beliefs, interests and goals, and habits of thinking.
Motivation plays a very important role in the learning. It pertains
to an individual’s inner drive to do something, accomplish
something, pursue a goal, learn, and master a skill, or just
discover without necessarily being forced or pushed by anyone.
The level of one’s motivation would also determine the extent of
his or her ability to accomplish desired tasks. The way teachers
motivate their learners is then crucial to make them actively
engaged in the learning process.
Teachers can praise works that have been done well. (let
us commend them)
They can also acknowledge every little achievement of a
person.
Teachers can use the student’s errors or mistakes as
opportunities for mentoring.
All these raise a person’s motivation to learn.
