Correct Answer - Option 4 : they ask questions seeking clarification from the teacher
Motivation refers to the willingness of individual members to set and accept challenging goals and to take responsibility, their involvement in work, and their job satisfaction. It is a process that begins with a physiological or psychological need or deficiency that triggers behaviour or a drive that is aimed at a goal or an incentive.
- The purpose of motivation is to create conditions in which people are willing to work with zeal, initiative, interest and enthusiasm, with a sense of responsibility, loyalty and discipline, and with pride and confidence in the most cohesive manner, so that the goals of an organisation are achieved effectively.
While establishing the steps of motivation, an executive should be guided by certain rules. According to Jucius, these rules are:
-
Self-interest and Motivation:
- People are by nature, selfish. When a person realises that his own interests are best served by the attainment of an organisation’s goals, he is likely to be motivated.
- A motivated student becomes interested in learning further and develops an interest in the subject or concept the teacher is teaching. These students can be considered motivated if they ask questions seeking clarification from the teacher regarding their doubts, or want to enhance their knowledge towards that particular subject.
-
Attainability: It is necessary to establish goals that are attainable and when such goals are achieved, it leads to employee satisfaction. Unattainable goals frustrate people.
-
The Human Element: Motivation appeals to emotions and feelings. The executive, who is most successful as a motivator, can trace his success invariably to his skill in dealing with peoples’ feelings. He can bring out the best in people because he makes them feel good, feel significant, feel worthwhile, and feel that they are growing.
Thus from the above-mentioned points, it is clear that the children in a class can be considered to be motivated if they ask questions seeking clarification from the teacher.
