ANALYSIS OF THE MOTIVATION

The term motivation originated from a Latin Word Motum

which means motion. Motivation is the process of arousing or
imitating involvement in the organism. Motivation is something
which prompts, compels and energies an individual to act in a
particular manner at a particular time for attaining some specific
goal. It is a process of

arousing. Directing, maintaining and

controlling ones interest in a particular activity.

psychology and to the classroom activity. In fact, no real learning
can take place without motivation. Motivation brings the learner in
