Motivation is a key factor to arouse interest in a school subject and slot in knowledge acquisition. It is generally known that teachers play a viral role in providing and encouraging motivation in the classroom. The majority of learners express natural excitement about learning, however some students require other sources of stimulation. There are plenty of factors which influence students motivation to learn and affect their patience, persistence, their general interest in a subject, and willingness to achieve learning goals. In this short essay I would like to discuss motivational factors that has a positive effect on students learning process and their achievements. The factors I took into consideration are as follows: a constructive classroom environment, teaching methodologies and family background. A threat-free and constructive class environment is considered to be one of the most crucial factors which keep students enthusiastic about learning, working hard, and pushing themselves to excel. A classroom environment which allows students to thrive and learn effectively requires a teacher becoming as well-acquainted with their students as possible. Moreover, while students need to understand the classroom rules and the consequences of not following them, they seem to get and stay motivated if a teacher create a supportive environment by continually affirming their belief in a student’s abilities rather then punishing them. A positive reinforcement, such as verbal praise or an entertaining activity, seems to be one of the most effective way to reward ones students and nurture fascination with the subject. Teaching methodologies a teacher decides to apply in the classroom constitutes another important factor crucial in success of learning and nurturing continued effort in students. In order to accomplish long-term goals in learning a particular subject, students not only ought to be exposed to an appropriate management, language of instruction, principles and methods, but also follow relevant material which highly corresponds to their level and individual needs. Good preparation, the use of visual aids and technology, as well as giving students a constructive and analytical feedback on their progress are the factors which are believed to significantly affect level of students' active and positive involvement in the class. Not only good teachers by making their lessons interesting to children and excited about school foster a lifelong love of learning. Parental encouragement play an equally crucial role in students academic motivation and performance. Creating an open atmosphere where a child feels comfortable expressing their likes, dislikes or concerns results in a development of students' academic motivation and greater achievement. Motivation in students, while not the only factor in students' successful learning, plays a key role in determining what students will take and benefit from the lesson. In this essay I have listed three major factors, which in my opinion, strongly affect a sense of accomplishment in mastering a particular subject. Maintaining a positive classroom environment through recognizing students for their contributions and displaying a strong interest in students’ learning is one of them. In very many cases the level of participation and involvement in students also depends on teaching strategies which a teacher apply in the classroom. Lastly, I find that at-home parental support for learning is also highly connected with students’ motivation and persistence.
