PSYCHOLOGICAL FACTORS THAT POSITIVELY EFFECT THE MOTIVATION

LEVEL OF STUDENTS IN GRADE 11 STEM JUSTICE

Motivation is a source of considerable influence on a person's determination and

persistence. It fuels a human's willpower and capacity for setting goals and accomplishing

tasks. It is a crucial factor that changes a person's behavior, allowing them to work and take

action about something. People in general are driven by motivation, hence its significance.

Lack of motivation will directly impact an individual's life in a lot of aspects, such as career,

mental health, social skills, and mindset. It will result in a lack of direction that comes along

with the inability to determine an underlying purpose.

The absence of motivation affects a person's energy level and willingness to

accomplish things efficiently, particularly in students who encounter tasks on a daily basis.

This problem will not only negatively effect their performance academically, but it will also

affect the overall process of formulating personal goals. In addition to that, it will interfere

with the students learning process and discovery that will result into difficulty of

understanding. Challenges in comprehending lessons at school due to zero interest will be

evident when a student lacks the motivation to engage his/herself in studying.

This study aims to determine the psychological factor that influences a student's

motivation in a positive way that will increase the determination to achieve goals and

improve academic performance of students.
