In the master’s work conception of motivation problems of vocational school student is being analyzed, different theories are being introduced. Different theories of studying can be comprehended depending on teachers, the subject, methods and interests of students. The teacher himself ought to decide what psychological theories and principals of learning motivations could be the most acceptable and valuable realizing the most important tasks of education.
If you want to tell what stimulates a student to study, you have to analyze the motives of learning or not learning. The analyze enables to foresee the pedagogical measures to be taken to make the process of teaching more effective. Therefore analyzes of learning motives has great importance for both theory and practice of pedagogies.
Motivation of learning consists of: student’s essence of learning requirements, aims, emotions, interests. Everything changes depending on circumstances, students – students and students – teachers interrelations. These is evidence to sugest that motivation of learning changes depending on age and changes of social circumstances.
Therefore the feeling of desire or unwillingness to learn is very important and urgent subject at vocational school. Not the best students enter vocational schools; therefore bad school attendance and back of motivation becomes big problems to the teachers working at these schools.

Language learning motivation as ideological becoming : dialogues with six English-language learnersHarvey, Louise January 2015 (has links)
The field of language learning motivation has traditionally been a 'self'-centred one, characterising the individual learner as subject to influence by, but essentially separate from, the sociocultural environment. Models of language learning motivation have been concerned with theorising the self, but have not fully accounted for the role of the other. The recent emergence of sociocultural approaches has seen a welcome move towards addressing this gap, theorising the language learner as engaged in complex relationships with various others, all constituted by and constituting their sociocultural contexts. Within this paradigm, researchers have begun to consider ways in which language learning motivation may be part of broader motivation for learning in various life domains - intellectual, social, emotional, ethical - though this is as yet an emergent area of scholarship. This study adopts one such sociocultural approach, namely Ushioda's person-in-context relational view (2009, 2011). Using a theoretical framework and innovative dialogical research design based on the work of Mikhail Bakhtin, I present dialogues describing the learning experience and motivation of six English-language learners, and create a definition and interpretation of language learning motivation as ideological becoming, a process of learning to be in the world. This definition and interpretation integrate the language learner and their social context in ways which understand language learning motivation as socially constructed, involving relations with many different others; which understand language learning motivation as part of motivation towards broader personal and social growth and development; and which foreground learners' own voices and perspectives. In accounting for the reciprocal influence between the language learner and the world as heard through learners' own voices, this study offers an important conceptual contribution to the language learning motivation field. Furthermore, it represents a methodological contribution to both the language learning motivation field and to qualitative inquiry more broadly. Finally, it offers political and practical contributions, and makes suggestions for future research and researchers.

Vyresniųjų (9 - 12) klasių mokinių kūrybiškumo ir mokymosi motyvacijos ypatumai bei kaita / The alternation and the conection between the senior pupil's (9 - 12) creativity and learning motivation peculiaritiesPalevičienė, Danguolė 27 June 2006 (has links)
The aim of this study was to explore the alternation and the connection between the senior pupils’ creativity and motivation peculiarities. Hypothesis that pupil having high creativity questionnaire indicators will have higher creative thinking indicators were formulated. The positive connection between the senior pupils’ (9-12) creative thinking, creativity and learning motivation does not exist. The connection between creativity questionnaire indicators and independent criteria such as progress, gender and age is presumable. Most of tests in use today are based on the theory of Guilford (1950). Guilford (1950) identified three components of creative thinking: fluency (the ability to find multiple solution to a problem quickly); flexibility (being able to simultaneously consider a variety of alternatives); and originality (referring to ideas that differ from those of other people). Early tests designed to assess an individual’s aptitude for divergent thinking included the Torrance (1962) tests. So Torrance Test of Creative Thinking (1974) was chosen to test senior pupils in case to explore their peculiarities of creative thinking. (IICT) the visual aids (uncompleted figure task) of creative thinking measuring method, (TTCT, B form) originality evaluation and detail evaluation criteria were used as well. The personality creativity questionnaire of V. Petrulis (1988) was also used in order to ascertain the pupils’ evaluation level of their own creativity. The pupils’... [to full text]
