Motivation and learning: the engine of academic success
Motivation is one of the most important factors in the learning process. When children feel motivated, they participate more, enjoy studying, and are more engaged in their tasks. On this page, you'll find ideas and resources to help your children maintain their enthusiasm for learning every day.
Why is motivation key in learning?
Motivation fuels curiosity, attention, and perseverance. A motivated child learns better because they feel capable and valued . Furthermore, they associate studying with a positive experience, which strengthens their self-esteem and their desire to excel.
The environment, the attitude of adults, and the type of activities proposed directly influence how the child perceives learning.
Types of motivation in learning
There are two types of motivation that influence the way children learn:
Intrinsic motivation: arises from the interest or pleasure of learning something new. For example, a child who enjoys solving a math problem because they find the challenge fun.
Extrinsic motivation: This relates to external rewards, such as praise, points, or prizes. When used effectively, it can be a great ally in reinforcing effort and perseverance.
Combining both helps maintain a balance between the enjoyment of learning and the recognition of progress.
Strategies to maintain children's motivation
Parents and teachers can apply simple but effective strategies:
Set achievable goals and celebrate accomplishments.
Incorporate games, activities, and challenges adapted to their age.
Allow the child to choose between several activities to encourage autonomy.
Transform mistakes into opportunities for improvement.
Show enthusiasm for what the child learns, reinforcing their sense of accomplishment.
