Role of motivation in Teaching

Motivation is literally the desire to do things. It's the crucial element in setting and attaining goals—and research shows you can influence your own levels of motivation and self-control. Teachers play very important role in student’s life. The job of the teacher is not to blindly teach, but to motivate students to demonstrate behavior that will help them stay motivated and become life-long learners. When students are motivated they will set individual goals for themselves and modify their behavior in order to meet those goals. Students who are properly motivated are more likely to start tasks that they genuinely want to complete, and are almost more likely to put out significant amounts of effort and energy to complete these tasks to the best of their ability. Students who are motivated towards academic success take genuine pride in their efforts, recognition, and grades. These students tend to be good leaders in near future. Motivation can be an amazing factor when it comes to student performance. Top b-Schools always make lots of efforts to keep their students motivated so that students will achieve their goals in effective manner.
