<p>This essay investigates how students become motivated and if there is any difference between a teacher’s and a student’s viewpoint concerning motivation.</p><p>In order to carry out this investigation a survey was carried out. To get even greater knowledge of this subject, four interviews with two teachers and two students were also carried out. A total of 60 individuals took part in the survey.</p><p>The result shows that motivation is an important factor in school. Many students thought of motivation as the feeling of doing something without being forced. The reasons for students being motivated were many, but they could all be traced back to the teacher. How the teacher acts in the classroom is the biggest motivational factor.</p><p> </p>
