Best answer
Correct Answer - Option 3 : By supporting them in setting individual goals and their mastery
Motivation: It is the positive behavior to acquire a skill or knowledge, Motivation can be two types
  • Intrinsic motivation: it comes from deep within the mind, i.e. readiness to learn, love for learning, like a subject
  • Extrinsic motivation: it comes from outside influences, i.e. appreciation by the teacher, motivational speech of a topper, parents' motivation, etc.

Methods used by the teacher to motivate student:

  • Empower the students with a feeling of conscious choice
  • Set a greater goal
  • Reinvent the system of rewards.
  • Forget negative motivation
  • Beef up your learners' self-esteem
  • Provide honest and instructive feedback
  • Encourage collaboration
  • Ask for feedback and glean personal interests

 

Explanation:

  • When students are motivated extrinsically students try to complete the task or perform well to avoid punishment or earn rewards.
  • But when students enjoy doing the task or love to do it, they are motivated intrinsically. 
  • Teachers call upon both extrinsic and intrinsic motivation at different points and in different situations.
  • When a student doing a task repeatedly it will become his skill, then the student doesn't feel uneasy.
  • If a teacher is supporting students individually by setting individual goals and their mastery, he/she could be able to encourage them.
