The Power of Motivation in Learning and Behavior

 
Every activity has a driving force behind it. This
may be called motive force of our behaviour.
Without motivation, no activity is possible.
 
The word motivation is derived from the Latin
root “movere” which means ‘to move’. Thus,
motivation means the process of arousing
movement in the organism.
 
 
 
 
 
T.W. Atkinson (1966) defined motivation as the
arousal of tendency to act to produce one or
more effect.
 
According to C.V. Good (1973), “Motivation is the
process of arousing, sustaining and regulating
activity.”
 
 
 
 
To Skinner, “Motivation is the super-highway to
learning”.
 
Gray & Stark states  - “Motivation is the result of
processes, internal or external to the individual
that arouse enthusiasm and persistence to
pursue a certain course of action.”
 
 
 
 
Motive is that state of organism which makes it
perform certain act or duty. The organism goes
into action under some form of inner pressure.
 
Thus, motivation may be considered as that force
which compels us to act or to behave in a
particular direction.
 
Motivation is very important in every phase of
education. The success of teaching-learning
process depends upon encouragement,
incentives and all those forces that set the child
to learning activity.
 
In other words, the problem of education is the
problem of motivating the pupils. When the
pupils are motivated, half the work of the teacher
is done.
 
 
 
Motivation is the act of stimulating interest in
the pupils. In fact, motivation gives rise to
interest and interest is the short-cut to all
learning.
 
A well-motivated pupil is highly attentive.
He/she takes to his/her work whole heartedly
and achieves maximum success in the activity.
The knowledge of techniques of motivation is of
great importance to the teacher. Hence, we can
say that motivation is an essential condition of
learning.
 
 
The role of motivation in learning process may
briefly be summarized as below:
 
 
1) Motivation is an art of inculcating interest in
learners. Interest is said to be the mother of
attention and attention, in turn, is the mother of
learning. Unless motivating the learners, it is
quite impossible to create interest and attention
which may cause the failure of learning.
 
 
 
2) In learning process, the psychological or
mental energy of the learner is very essential.
This energy to the learner is brought about by
motivation.
 
3) Learning is a goal-oriented activity.
Motivation helps to raise this goal because it
sustains and energize our behaviour.
 
 
 
4) When students are motivated, they show
persistency in learning. Motivation helps the
learners to practice a thing more and more which
gradually leads to effective learning.
 
5) Motivation helps in capturing attention of the
students and attention leads to effective
learning. The teacher can help the students in
concentrating their attention on studies by
motivating them.
 
 
 
Accordingly, motivation plays a vital role in the
process of learning. In fact, motivation is called
the central factor of learning. As we cannot
imagine the existence of a school, college or
university without pupils, so we cannot imagine
an effective learning without proper motivation.
 
Therefore, it is very essential for the teacher to
motivate his students in the classroom before
they are taught.
