Motivation is the required fuel for people’s engine to continue working (Zaglar, Z.(n.d.)). Motivation is so important for people to show their best performance and to take an action. People sometimes finds it by himself or it sometimes finds people. Also, people needs motivation in classroom life to be enthusiastic and to show their best performance. In this way, students and teachers should work as synchronous. Teacher will produce an environment which students see themselves as feeling competent and self-determining. After that, students will see themselves as colleagues with high level of attractions for one another. In this way, a motivated environment will arrive. However, Motivation is not an easy task which can be applied by using every method. By using motivation, the aim is not only to ignite the human engine to take an action. It also should make people enjoyment. This motivation type is called intrinsic motivation. People is doing something for fun, for enjoyment and they don’t do it for a reward or to arrive a goal. It is now for the best performance to arrive. In this situation, people behaviors cannot be ignored. There will be some people who are bad and good rein forcers. Rein forcers works for an expected behavior to repeat. If they are good, they will work for a good behavior to happen by using strengthening methods like giving a chocolate to affect emotionally. However, they may be bad and they can make restriction for an expected behavior to repeat. On the other hand, other face of this picture is punishment. There are rules in every country. If a person does not obey those rules, he is interfered according to that rules. The aim is to finish that action not to happen again. Class also is a place having its own rules. If students do not obey those rules, they will be penalizing. This is a part of surviving in class. Also, the question comes to the mind. Should teacher make a decision between reinforcement and punishment to choose in class. Teacher actually should choose all of them and use them whenever they are necessary according to student’s needs. Student needs are important because they affect each other. If a student is hungry, you cannot expect him to be active in class. Moreover, if he doesn’t feel safe, he will not focus lesson properly. He will be focusing to take action by thinking where his brain goes to find a safer place. In this situation, teacher should make changes on learning situations and should create them with positive feeling tone. Students should forget their bad ideas in class. They should focus their interest and intrinsic values and they should think their achievable learning goals. Also, teacher should make them compatible with their peers so that they cannot see themselves out of group. Finally, motivation is everything in a class. It is a keyword and it is the fuel as I sad first.
If you don’t put fuel to your car, you should not wait it to work by itself. Don’t forget motivation is fuel of students…
