Unlocking Student Potential: Self-Motivation Drives Success
"Research in pedagogy and education shows that four key self-initiated student behaviors are crucial for developing, progressing, and enhancing positive intrinsic learning qualities. These essential self-driven behaviors support the growth and refinement of valuable academic and social skills, offering the potential to advance skills, knowledge, insights, and understanding across all disciplines. This process involves the development and application of four intrinsic qualities (Purje, 2014)."
"Self-motivation is the internal drive to start and maintain goal-oriented behavior without external rewards. Research suggests that self-motivation is the driver of actions; it is the personally understood and, importantly, the personally applied action by the individual without (in colloquial terms) being constantly told what to do. Self-motivation is connected to the desire of "want." That of wanting to achieve, and of wanting to continuously work to achieve their goals."
Self-motivation, self-discipline, self-regulation, and self-management function as core intrinsic qualities that drive learner initiation, persistence, monitoring, and planning. Self-motivation supplies the internal impetus to begin and sustain goal-directed actions without external rewards. Self-discipline supports sustained effort and perseverance when facing obstacles. Self-regulation enables learners to monitor, evaluate, and adjust cognitive and emotional strategies to meet objectives. Self-management organizes time, resources, and behaviors to execute plans effectively. Together these behaviors cultivate academic and social skills, deepen knowledge and understanding, and help learners recognize and apply what is required to reach desired goals.
