One of the important ingredients of educational success is motivation. Motivation basically explains why we do the things we do, or why we behave the way we do. It is about our drives, wants and needs. Simply put, motivation is cyclical process starting and finishing with an individual's needs. Our individual needs direct our goals. Our goals determine our actions and may later trigger other needs.
Psychologists distinguish between INTRINSIC and EXTRINSIC motivation. Behavior based on long-term goals or a person's established preferences is considered to be intrinsically motivated. Behavior based on some external reward is considered to be extrinsically motivated.
Most of our daily behavior, however, is a complex mixture of both kinds of motivation. Going to course may be mostly a matter of intrinsic motivation, for the goal--in this case, the academic degree--can only be reached after a long period and concentrated effort. But, the effort that is put into daily assignments may be partly motivated by extrinsic factors, such as praise from teachers, incentives from parents, and admiration from peers. In other words, the chances of success during the years of schooling are biggest if one can draw support and encouragement from others. in the absence of sch support and encouragement, the chances of success may be slim.
Finally, KEY is here to give you support and motivation in order that you, your families, and your children can get success in learning English.
