Helping Student Become More Motivated To Learn By na
Fundamentally, the process of motivation stems from stimulation, which in turn is followed by an emotional reaction that leads to a specific behavioral response. In the classroom, if a student's behavior is regarded as desirable and is rewarded, the positive reinforcement stimulates the student to repeat the desirable behavior. Conversely, if a student's behavior is regarded as undesirable and the individual receives a response with a negative undertone, demotivation results. Furthermore, anxiety and frustration often result if behavior thought to be positive does not lead to proper recognition, reinforcement and reward. Hits: 667 )

Motivate Employee Participation in Professional Development Opportunities By Gayle Lantz
When companies think of employee development, they often search for training programs, educational seminars, coaching or the latest book that might offer ideas on what employees can do to sharpen skills or strengthen expertise.

Motivating Adult Learners By ECU
No workplace trainer can force motivation upon their learners, but creating motivational situations that enhance learner motivation is relatively easy. To do this, workplace trainers have to concentrate on their learner and motivation as an internal concept whilst developing complimentary intrinsic motivational strategies. while doing so, workplace trainers should also keep in mind the notion that extending this concept too much may lead to sentiments such as %u201Cif they%u2019re not prepared to learn it%u2019s not my job to persuade them.%u201D Developing motivational strategies to enhance workplace learning will not only benefit the workplace trainer but the learner as well.
