Motivation is an internal process that makes a person move
toward a goal. Students are part of people who live a kind of lack of motivation and concentration with their studies and real life. If students do not believe that their efforts are likely to improve their performance, they will not be motivated to work hard , they may also have had discouraging experiences in similar courses or on early assignments in a course that convince them they cannot do the work. Mental or physical health problems, substance abuse, and other personal problems can interfere with individual students motivation to exert effort in a course . It could be some family problems sometimes as divorce or rich parents etc College students who often (not always) struggle to balance different goals, which may be academic (succeeding in their classes, completing double and triple majors), pre-professional (attending conferences), social (making friends, finding a romantic partner, having fun), and physical (getting adequate sleep, exercising). There is a lot of reasons behing students lack of motivation as : - Students do not believe that their efforts will improve their performance. - Present activities not seen as related to important goals. - Some teachers dont respect students hard work and difference of capacities. - etc
Students could be motivated to work more by different ways as :
- Students look to teachers for approval and positive reinforcement, and are more likely to be enthusiastic about learning if they feel their work is recognized and valued. - Advice students to watch some motivation videos (it helps very much). - Take some break after hard work. - Make participating fun by giving each student a job to do. - Rewards give students a sense of accomplishment and encourage them to work with a goal in mind.
