Journal Title: Psychology and Education: A Multidisciplinary Journal - Year 2023, Vol 7, Issue 8
Abstract
Motivation is one of the fundamental aspects of getting attention among learners and teachers. Throughout the decades, the presence of motivation in the classroom setting has been the backbone of the learning process. This study aimed to assess and identify the level of students' interest and motivation in learning and their active participation in classroom discussions. The results would be the basis for an action plan or intervention program on how to motivate the students' learning interests at school. The study was classroom-based research that employed a qualitative research design and was descriptive in nature. The participants consisted of pupils and teachers. A purposive sampling technique has been utilized in selecting the participants. The data were properly collected through classroom observations and interviews with the teachers and pupils. The study provides findings, ramifications, and key themes that arose from the responses of the interviewees. According to the results, teacher-participants were concerned about the lack of motivation and engagement of the learners in the classroom. For student-participants had the mindset to play around the corner of the classroom rather than listen to the teachers' lesson. Thus, teachers need to find strategies and methods that suit the learners' level. Teachers should actively engage learners and gain their attention by rewarding and appreciating them in other ways. The researchers recommended that future studies look more closely at various internal and external aspects of students' lack of motivational interests.
