Ask any person who is successful in whatever he or she is doing what motivates him/her, and very likely the answer will be "goals". Goal Setting is extremely important to motivation and success. So what motivates you? Why are you in college? If you are in college because that's what your parents want, you may find it difficult to motivate yourself.

Motivate Yourself In Learning

Various task dimensions can foster motivation to learn. Ideally, tasks should be challenging but achievable. Relevance also promotes motivation, as does "contextualizing" learning, that is, helping students to see how skills can be applied in school and the real world. Tasks that involve "a moderate amount of discrepancy or incongruity" are beneficial because they stimulate students' curiosity.

Interest Is Your Main Motivator!

Interest is an important motivator for a student. So is a desire to learn. When you link these two things together, you create success. Often success in an endeavor leads to more interest and a greater desire to learn, creating an upward spiral of motivation toward a goal you have established.

Focus

• Identify your current environment.
• Discover your learning style.
• Equip yourself with study strategies to motivate your learning cells.
