What is Motivation?- According to Simon, Ercikan, Rousseau (2013), the word motivation is referring to one’s enthusiasm to engage in daily action. In the educational environment, the notion of motivation is referred to enthusiasm or reasons behind our action or behaviour. From teacher’s points of view, the motivation is linked to learning outcomes that relate to students’ beliefs, goals, and engagement in the assessment. How can the teacher explain and predict the interactions of students’ motivation and their engagement is vitally important as it assists the teacher to design effective strategies to support students to reach their potential abilities.
