Some students seem to be sleepy and unenergetic inside classrooms during class discussions. If not, they chat with their seatmates for more interesting topics. They often show unpleasant actions that make their teacher mad. This results into low class participation and class meeting destruction. Students flunk in examinations afterwards. Teachers who hold these students lacks in ... what do you think?
Learning is critically influenced by learner motivation. Motivation is a process of arousing and sustaining the interest of an individual. It has two types: the Extrinsic and Intrinsic motivation. Extrinsic motivation results from positive rewards to achieve a target bahavior. Teacher can motivate their students extrinsicly by rewarding them good grades and items. Those things awaken their minds, get class attentions and boost class participations. On the other side, Intrinsic motivation is the use of encouraging statements. Teachers can motivate their students intrinsicly by saying praises like"very good", "great", etc. to them. Those words of course, if a student heard that, he'll think that his performance is well. He,then,will repeat those good things that he did. Teachers can also motivate the students intrinsicly by reading them stories, quotes, etc. before their discussions.
A classroom that is full of motivation is usually active and peppy. You can hear it via noise when you walk through the corridors of schools. The noise is created in a positive way. Maybe the teacher has given the students cool and interesting activities. You can also see if a student have so much motivations if he kept bragging about the activity after classes.
