TECHNIQUES OF MOTIVATION

6. Reward and punishment
This is very impactful technique to motivate
a student. According to this technique a
student is rewarded for good deeds and
punished for every bad deeds he does.
Award given should not be expensive so that
it does not develop the feeling of greediness
in students and also punishment should not
be severe.
"In the giving of reward, the end justifies
the means”.-Bompas Smith

7. Praise and blame
This is also similar to reward and punishment
technique. A student should be praised for his
good dates or behaviour and should be blame
and scolded for bad deeds. A teacher should be
just for all the students and should not favour
anyone.
"Praise for success and blame for failure are
more effective than indiscriminate praise and
blame”. -Wheat

8. Life is full of struggles. One faces both
success and failure in life. Success helps a
person to move forward while failure
motivation for San to a great extent. So, a
teacher should advise a child to choose a
goal according to his potential and not to
lose hope after failure.
"School program should be sufficiently
varied so that every pupil has a chance to
succeed at his own level." -Bernard
Success vsfailure

9. Competition and Cooperation
Today's time is a time of competition. Everyone wants to
succeed and be ahead of others. This is a very good factor for
motivation. One was hard and tries so that he does not get
behind. Competition at a large scale is very important and a
teacher should make sure that there is no unhealthy
competition between the students.
In the similar way cooperation is also very important
nowadays. Doing something together as a team makes that
task easy and reduces the labour. Child launched to co-
operate mutual respect and concern for each other.
" Friendly competition is a better source of motivation."
-JP Miller

10. Novelty means a child gets bored of learning
with the same pattern again and again. He
gets distracted in classroom and does not
pay attention to what teacher is saying. So
new technique should be adapted and
implemented from time to time and difficult
topics should be taught while giving
reference from daily life.
Novelty

11. Maslow’s Law of Motivation
Maslow's hierarchy of needs is a motivational
theory comprising a 5 tier human needs, often
depicted as hierarchy levels within a pyramid.
From the bottom of the hierarchy upwards, the
needs are: Psychological, safety, love and
belongingness, Esteem and self actualization.
Needs slowdown in the hierarchy must be
satisfied before individuals can attend to
needs higher up.

13. PHYSIOLOGICAL NEEDS
These are biological requirements for human
survival for example air, food, drink, shelter,
clothing, warmth and sleep.
If these needs are not satisfied the human body
cannot function optimally.

14. Once the individual physiological needs a
satisfied the need for security and safety
become salient. These needs can only be
fulfilled by family and Society. For example
emotional security, financial security, law
and order, freedom from fear, social stability,
property, health etc.
SECURITY NEEDS

15. BELONGINGNESS & LOVE
NEEDS
After physiological and security needs are
fulfilled, human needs is social and involves
feelings of belongingness. The need for
interpersonal relationships motivates behaviour.
For example friendship, intimacy, trust and
acceptance, receiving and giving affection and
love.

16. It is the fourth level which Maslow classified
into two categories: First is esteem for
oneself [dignity, achievement, mastery,
independence] and second is the desire for
reputation for respect from others [ Status
and Prestige]
ESTEEM NEEDS

17. SELF ACTUALIZATION
It is the highest level of hierarchy and it refers to
the realisation of a person's potential, self
fulfilment, seeking personal growth and peak
experiences. Maslow[1943] describes this level as
the desire to accomplish everything that one can
to become the most that one can be.

18. The Eight Stage Maslow’s
Hierarchy of Needs
Maslow's theory has been elaborated upon
by other researchers. Maslow's original five
stage model been adapted by other
researchers who have analysed Maslow's
theory to develop eight stage hierarchy of
needs pyramid.

19. Additional Needs
1.Cognitive needs:Need to know and understand.
For example knowledge, meaning,
understanding etc.
2.Aesthetic needs:Need to express oneself in
pleasing ways. For example appreciation and
search for beauty, balance form etc.
3.Transcendence needs:Helping others to achieve
the level of self actualization.
