Motivation

Motivation is the driving force for all our actions or the desire of an individual to do things. It is

a process that starts, keeps us persistent, and pushes us to find ways to achieve a goal. It

plays a significant role in the process of learning. When a learner is truly motivated, he gets

involved and engrossed in the learning process and achieves the results well. Motivated individuals are seen to be able to use their

 learning in new situations in life as they think and find the underlying framework. The motivation can be either intrinsic or

extrinsic. When an individual does something because of his internal drive and not by any external factors like punishment or

 reward this is said to be intrinsic motivation. However, when an individual is led by external factors positive or negative 

reinforcements, needs or a goal it is extrinsic motivation.
