Abstract
The purpose of this article is to show whether there are the beginning stages of understanding of motivation in the works of John Amos Comenius. By researching relevant literature, we have come to understand that there are significant traces of the comprehension of motivation, and that Comenius himself was an independent and creative personality who gave such a mark to his works as well. We have devoted more attention to motivation as a highly complex term in order to come to an overview of the relevant factors in the works, whether these factors are gained at birth or acquired via learning. The opus of Comenius, and especially The Great Didac-tic, offer a multitude of data on his contribution to the reformation of school, as well as society as a whole in the 17th century. The strengthening of manufacturing, innovations in the area of natural sciences, and the totality of the events in the period of life and work of Comenius speak of his greatness, personal autonomous motivation, creative spirit, great humanitarian streak and foundation of elementary school. The merit of Comenius, besides being the ideologist of elemen-tary school, is reflected far wider on the transformation on the entire society, contributing espe-cially with the school obligation for everyone, mass education, raising of the quality of teaching in the classroom, bringing the school and upbringing activites and planning on a yearly, monthly, daily, hourly and minute level. In short, by adopting the class system, Comenius ensures educa-ted people, who were necessary for the more advanced social class of that age. The special con-tribution is reflected in his, we will say, Copernicus-style transformation of the concept of man and his purpose on his world with clearly delineated educational goals. By tranforming the feudal school in which but one or two students were present in the process of teaching, accor-ding to the order of the parents, into the general educational and also obligatory school for eve-ryone, the educational format was able to respond to the demands of the age, and also the trans-formation of the society as a whole with far more impact. The purpose of this article is, therefore, to point to the contribution of Comenius to the realiza-tion of the interests of students, parents, local community and society in its totality, but also the motives and, in the end, motivation for learning.
