O papel da motivação na prática docente

Abstract

The role of motivation in learning and performance seems indisputable, not restricted to academia, but extending to the different abilities and situations of everyday life. The motivation is not only necessary for learning to occur, but also for them to be put into action the behaviors and skills learned. In teaching practice is no different. Motivation is an intrinsic condition of the individual that motivates you to do or stay doing something, therefore, teachers remain motivated depends on a number of factors and conditions which consequently have an impact on their practice. From this premise, the study was aimed at determining the role of motivation in teaching practice and the factors are engaged in these constructs. Thus, a study was conducted with 40 teachers in the city of João Pessoa - PB, with 20 public schools and 20 private. The results showed that in some questions the answers between the two samples differ, but in others they converge. Thus, we can see that the teaching motivation is associated with factors such as recognition, compensation and pleasure by doing.
