The central theme of the research is an investigation into what motivates FET phase learners
to learn. All learners are interested in learning certain things however, learners interests
often do not correspond with what teachers are required to teach. Teachers are therefore
constantly searching for ways to motivate learners to learn. This challenge is not easy for
teachers in a culturally homogenous classroom, but becomes even greater when the classes
are comprised of learners from diverse cultural backgrounds. So then how does a teacher
motivate learners in general, and more specifically learners from different cultural
orientations? This is a difficult question to answer but one that needs to be addressed
considering the diversity of cultures found in the South African classroom. In this study an
attempt is made to examine what motivates learners to learn, and the influence of culture on
the motivation to learn of Further Education and Training (FET) phase learners in a
multicultural classroom. Data on these two elements is collected through the use of structured
questionnaires and focus group interviews and is analysed in order to answer the research
question. / Psychology of Education / M. Ed. (Psychology of Education)
