TEACHER MOTIVATION

In the world of today, education plays a big role on the improvement of a society, thus being a teacher is a very sacred and arduous occupation. Therefore, teachers are the backbone of a well educated society. Teachers are the most important factor in a generation's education process, so it's crucial that they perform to the best of their abilities in the educational activity. Therefore, the factors that affect teachers' performance has a direct on the students' performance. Some of these factors are compensation, success in the classroom, their dedication to the profession and the feedback they get from their students.



As of today, there are many elementary and high school teachers who feel emotionally exhausted to teach. Although being a teacher is a matter of loving people among everything, but most teachers nowadays seem to just not even try to get to the students or to inspire them. The most important aspect of this is the students. Because as human beings, our behaviour is shaped by the feelings we receive from our environment. In terms of this idea, if a teacher receiives good feedback from the students, which is their undivided interest to the lesson and their success, the teacher will be a lot more eager to come back and teach. On the contrary, if students don't listen to what their teacher has to say and if they don't care about the information they're to get from their teacher, then each passing becomes a torture for both parties involved; and he gradually gives up trying to educate the kids. As a result of this, the education level of the society will decrease. Of course it's not easy being insensible to what's dragging you down but a teacher cultivates the future generation. Therefore, giving up on a student will only cause you to lose your motivation more and more. Instead, if the teacher focuses on getting that student to love and understand the lesson, he will gradually get his eagerness to work back and he will again realise the value of teaching.



It must therefore be recognised that among the factors that affect a teacher's motivation, students play a big role and if given the opportunities, they can win the students and their motivation will be increased. When teachers are motivated and love their teaching profession, they will motivate their students to learn.
