 WHAT IS
MOTIVATION? Motivation is an inner drive that causes
you to do something and persevere at
something.

It energizes you to do something.

Ability refers to what children "can do".

Motivation refers to what these children
"will do”

It is the strength of the drive toward and

action.
Motivation is “a process
Schunk, Pintrich & Meece whereby a goal-directed
2008 activity is instigated and
sustained”
Motivation refers to the initiation,
direction, intensity and persistence of
behavior.
When we get motivated to do
something, it is not enough that we start
working at that thing but that we get
attracted to it.

Our attraction towards it becomes so

intense that we persist working on it
through thick and thin until its
completion.
Learner's motivation is the primary
factor in influencing both performance
and success in school.
ACTION/ DIRECTION

action: is the act of setting something in
motion or initiating an action

within the person himself/herself or the
activity itself.

• It is shown in the enjoyment of the activity

itself and the inner conviction of the learner
that such things are the right things to do in
order to realize a personal goal or a life
dream.

• It yields more advantages than extrinsic

motivation
 EXTRINS
IC
• When that which motivates a person is
someone or something outside him/her.

• Factors that include rewards, incentives,

praises or words of encouragements, approval
of significant others like teachers peer group or
their opposites - fear of punishment, withdrawal
of privileges, censure and ostracism.

 THE ROLE OF
EXTRINSIC
MOTIVATION
Extrinsic motivation plays an indispensable
function when a learner is not yet intrinsically
motivated to learn. For optimum learning, this
extrinsic motivation, however, must gradually take
the back seat as intrinsic motivation comes to the
fore.
