Abstract :
In our living room’s higher corner, a little bird gathers construction materials to build its nest. As soon as we try to remove it, the bird returns with more straw, leaves, and other small items and resumes building its nest. Why does it exert such effort? Why did it acquire the ability to make nests? Similar to this, we witness a student working nonstop during exam weeks or a child persistently trying to learn how to cycle despite numerous wounds and bruises. What motivates people to pursue a particular learning path and keep trying despite numerous disadvantages and challenges? Answers to these questions about the purpose of learning can be found in the word “Motivation” Since they are all motivated, the bird is building its nest, the student is working hard in class, and the boy is learning to ride a bicycle. In order to meet their basic requirements and achieve their intended goals, they behave because they are convinced to do so. They are motivated or forced to act and behave in a certain way by something. The topic of what motivates someone to move or behave in a particular way in order to accomplish desired goals arises. It is referred to as a motive in psychology. Similar to how a car’s fuel tank powers it, our behavior is governed by our motives. Many different factors in our social lives have a function in motivating and guiding our behavior.
