Motivation in learning

Motivation is a process in which the individual’s attention and interest are aroused and
directed toward definite goals. To give attention is to engage in metal activity.

It is directing one’s thinking toward a specific stimulus in one’s environment. The kind of
stimulus to which an individual gives attention depends on many factors such as:

 Age

 Intelligence

 Training

 Needs

 Attitudes

 Experiences
