Role of motivation in the path of learning: leading towards golden road of sustainability

As the term implies, motivation is what causes us to "move."It is thought to be the arousal of movement in a person that stimulates, guides, and promotes a child's learning.Lack of motivation prevents learning from progressing.For educators, one of the most annoying barriers to students' learning has been their lack of drive.Although the concept of motivation appears straightforward on the surface, researchers have defined it in a variety of ways, resulting in a large body of research literature.Two motivational theories developed by psychologists, extrinsic and intrinsic, each work separately to influence conduct in people.An internal driving force that is inherited from biology is known as intrinsic motivation.A child with intrinsic motivation engages in activities freely in order to accomplish personal objectives.Therefore, it is the responsibility of teachers to develop students who are independent, self-driven, and take the initiative to show interest in the information they are studying.This can be accomplished by cultivating a happy, joyful environment in the classroom where everyone is valued and respected, as well as by making the learning tasks engaging.This research paper will give an overview of several theories of motivation, discuss the significance of motivation for learning, and list a number of useful strategies that teachers can employ to promote and sustain motivation in their students.
