Motivation

Quick Tips:

Motivation is at least as important as intelligence in influencing student learning. In a study by Jesse R. Pitts, it was found that motivation ranked above intellect, peer influence, and teaching in success in college learning. Donald Bligh (Britain) suggests that there are six factors that commonly motivate college learners:

  • Desire for relevance to career.
  • Curiosity.
  • Instructor enthusiasm.
  • Social interaction.
  • Challenge (minimal anxiety but not fear).
  • Respect and esteem.
