THE ROLE OF MOTIVATION IN LEARNING AND CLASSROOM REWARD SYSTEM IN THE NIGERIAN EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM
ABSTRACT
The Concept of motivation has been so vital to men’s actions for optimal result and productivity. In the classroom, motivation of students by teachers and other educational stakeholders play an essential role in the teaching – learning processes. The Latin word, ‘movere’ means to move into action and do well. Motivation is functional in achieving success on the part of students. Students exhibit great passion, interest and enthusiasm when they are being motivated to learn. This paper sets out to examine the benefits of achievement, which among others tend to build and promote healthy competition among students. The theories of motivation are well discussed: the expectancy – value theory, self-determination theory, and achievement – goal theory. Also, factors that influence motivation are highlighted. Again, strategies teachers could use to support students’ expectancies of success and value beliefs and limit perceptions of cost are stressed. Another area of touch is the classroom Reward system and motivation learning engagement. These include types of rewards for students in the classroom. Finally, this paper therefore makes recommendations to teachers, the government and other educational actors in ensuring motivated classroom and teaching-learning environment.
