motivating students to learn.

comes from your self.

Conclusion: Motivation student to learn is not lecturer’s
responsibility.
Motivation is defined as the process that
initiates, guides, and maintains goal-oriented behaviors. Motivation is
what causes us to act, whether it is getting a glass of water to reduce thirst
or reading a book to gain knowledge. If it is for college student, I think they
are already mature enough. So, I do believe that lecturers are not
responsible to motivate students to learn.
College students are already mature enough. Based on psychology fact people who already
mature enough, they are able to control and manage their selves about their
emotional, behavior how to act in whatever the condition is. They should place
their selves in a proper condition. They also have their own principal. They
have to adapt with whatever the
situation and condition is, even when the lecturer doesn't support them to
learn, they still control their selves and keep on their mood to study. They must make their own motivation for
themselves not depend on people or especially lecturer.
The main motivation comes from your own self. Like Amit Ray said
that “You are your master. Only you have the master
keys to open the inner locks.”so the key of motivation also come from your own self not from the other
people. So no matter how hard the lecturer try to motivate the students to learn if they don’t want to change, it will not change and the lecturer’s
motivation will not affect them at all.
Lecturers are not the one and only source of
student’s motivation to learn in university. Nowadays,
there are so many ways to motivate students, not only from lecturers. For
example, in university there are events or seminar that can support and
motivate college student to learn. Based on my personal experience, I have a
friend who is a college student who is taught by lecturers who are very lazy
and even don’t support them to learn. But luckily there are so many motivation
seminars and events in her university which can help her to motivate herself
from the other source.
Lecturers have big impact in
teaching-learning process
in a university. Then, many
people assume that because lecturers have big impact in teaching-learning process in a university. It means that the lecturers have
responsibility in motivation their students because they think that if the
lecturers can motivate students to learn, the teaching –learning process can
run well. But in the truth, there are so
many students that the lecturers teach. So it will be impossible for the
lecturer to be responsible in motivating their students one by one because
lecturers are also a human, they have limited capacity in controlling many
people.
A college student is already mature enough so
they can control and manage themselves. They may not be dependent person. And
also the motivation will affect more if the motivation comes from their own
selves. It will be greater than it should be. However, the motivation will be
back to the student’s personal itself. So, motivation student to learn is
not lecturer’s responsibility.
