These factors may be intrinsic or extrinsic. This article discusses the role of the teacher in students’motivation to learn. The literature on learning and motivation reveals the ways that teachers can increase students’motivation to learn. While students may have an innate desire to learn, the external support provided by the teacher has a significant impact on students’ learning. The teacher’s role in motivation includes, but is not limited to, creating an environment conducive to learning. The teacher’s role in encouraging support of students’ autonomy, relevance, and relatedness of the material increases motivation to learn. Additionally, the teacher’s ability to develop students’ competence, interest in subject taught, and perception of self-efficacy are all important factors that influence students’motivation to learn. This article, however, does not attempt to answer the extent to which these factors increase students’motivation to learn.  \nMotivation increases students’ learning (Theobald, 2006) . Students’ learning can increase because of their own innate desires to perform or accomplish a task; however, students’learning may be affected by external factors such as rewards or incentives (Bain, 2004; Theobald, 2006) . Students’ learning is not entirely dependent on their own motivation. Teachers’play a vital role in increasing students’ learning through motivational support (Schuitema, Peetsma, & Oort, 2016; Theobald, 2006; Thoonen, Sleegers, Peetsma, & Oort, 2011) . Teachers can increase students’motivation to learn by support of students’ autonomy, relevance, relatedness, competence, teachers’ interests in the subject, and self-efficacy (Ferlazzo, 2015; Schiefele & Schaffner, 2015; Schuitema et al. , 2016; Zhang, Solmon, & Gu, 2012) . Though motivation can be intrinsic or extrinsic, it is important for teacher to create an environment that motivates students’ learning.  \nMotivation is perceived to have several meanings. Motivation is conceptualised as an innate desire that drives individuals to participate in an activity because of the satisfaction derived from it (Theobald, 2006) . Another view of motivation suggests it is goal-directed learning, which stimulates and guides individuals toward a particular direction (Alexenoamen, 2009) . As students are motivated to learn, they are more likely to achieve the goals set for them, either by themselves or by the teacher (Theobald, 2006) . Motivation, while it may have several definitions, influences students’ learning.  \nStudents’motivation to learn is derived from various sources, either intrinsic or extrinsic (Theobald, 2006; Zhang, 2014) . On one hand, students are motivated to learn naturally because of their own interest and enjoyment in the subject or task, which gives deep meaning to what they learned and the effects on their lives (Bain, 2004; Zhang, 2014) . On the other hand, some students learn best because of a tangible reward or the value that is attached to the outcome of learning (Biggs, 1999; Bain, 2004; Zhang, 2014) . Students who are intrinsically motivated tend to perform better on the given tasks and are keener to achieve success (Theobald, 2006; Biggs, 1999; Zhang, 2014) . Both intrinsic and extrinsic motivation increases students’ drive to learn.  \nTeachers play a vital role in creating an environment that supports students’ learning. They often do this through their support for students’ autonomy (Schuitema et al. , 2016) . Teachers enable students to identify with self, personal interests, and values by supporting their freedom of choice (Ferlazzo, 2015) . By supporting students’ choices and interests, teachers help students develop personal interest, involvement, and ownership of their work, which aid in motivation (Schuitema et al. ; Stearns, 2013) . Teachers also help students to learn by increasing their responsibility an","cbCaigRa92RLM4yC","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaigRa92RLM4yC","pdf",214355,"English","# Introduction\n## Motivation as intrinsic and extrinsic drivers\n## Teachers’ motivational support and learning outcomes\n# Teacher strategies and classroom practices\n## Autonomy, relevance, relatedness, competence\n## Self-efficacy and personal connection to learning\n# Implications and limits of the article","[{\"question\":\"How do intrinsic and extrinsic motivations affect students’ learning?\",\"answer\":\"Intrinsic motivation relates to interest and enjoyment in learning, while extrinsic motivation is driven by rewards or the value attached to learning outcomes.
