Who can Motivate a Person to Study

Learning requires motivation. Student learning will occur in proportion to the effort that a student puts into learning. Therefore, a key task for the teacher is to encourage and promote student effort. This can be a challenge, even if the teacher creates a supportive learning environment, because many of the factors that influence student learning are affected by the student’s overall attitude, likes and dislikes, feelings about a subject, activity or school in general, and personality.

A student might also be motivated by having one good friend who is also learning, and will often be motivated to do well in areas that involve that other student, or where the friend is doing well. This is healthy competition, where each one motivates and helps the other to study and do well.

The most important source of motivation is finally the parents. They would have sowed the seeds for success in the child’s mind. Home is the haven where the child is most of the time. In order to foster a positive environment to study, parents have a crucial role in motivating their child to study.

 Students themselves can sometimes set their own standards and rate of working. By doing this they are issuing a challenge to themselves and thus providing the incentive to study. They may also measure their success by comparing their achievements or progress to others.

A motivated student will find it easier to go the extra mile and do all the necessary tasks that need to be done to assure success. The right motivation will allow students to study a lot more, be focused and with more concentration.
