õppemotiivi
Õppemotiivi refers to the internal driving force that compels an individual to engage in learning activities. It encompasses the reasons and desires behind a person's pursuit of knowledge or skill development. This motivation can stem from a variety of sources, both intrinsic and extrinsic. Intrinsic motivation arises from the inherent satisfaction and enjoyment derived from the learning process itself, such as curiosity, a desire for self-improvement, or a passion for a particular subject. Extrinsic motivation, on the other hand, is driven by external rewards or the avoidance of punishment, such as good grades, praise from others, career advancement, or the need to meet requirements. Understanding õppemotiivi is crucial in educational settings as it significantly influences a student's engagement, persistence, and ultimately, their academic success. Educators often employ strategies to foster and maintain both intrinsic and extrinsic motivation, recognizing that a balanced approach can lead to more effective and sustained learning. Factors such as personal interest, perceived relevance of the material, self-efficacy, and the learning environment all play a role in shaping õppemotiivi.
