Motivation is one of the most important topics in psychology, because motives are the main driver of human behaviour and underlie everything we do. Understanding motives helps us understand ourselves and others better, supports personal and social adjustment and raises achievement.
Motivation is a hypothetical construct inferred from a person's behaviour, used to explain the direction of that behaviour. Motives directly affect performance, achievement and decision-making.
Motivation unlocks people's hidden energy and drives them to learn and work with interest, while improving focus, attention and persistence towards their goals. The kit presents self-motivation strategies that build the ability to achieve and keep growing, develops motivating skills, and applies effective ways to boost motivation to learn for better performance and results.
Teachers who want to raise their students' motivation to learn and their engagement in class; student counsellors and educational supervisors dealing with low motivation and how to address it; school leaders responsible for a motivating school environment; trainers delivering programmes on motivation in education.
