Motivation in education

Truth is, inability to achieve frustrates us. This is what psychologists call motivation/moxie/pep/gumption/chutzpah.

Motivation is an attribute that instigates movements, an energy, direction, the reason for our behaviour, and the “what” and “why” we do something. It is that fire in the belly that causes us to envision, chase and fulfil. It has been defined as the process by which the behaviour of an individual is influenced by others, through their power to offer or withhold satisfaction of the individual’s needs and goals. However, the self can also motivate the self.
