Student Motivation
In motivating students to learn, one of the most important is the knowledge of the character of children and their learning model. This is important because motivation affects their success in school and achieve best in class rank.

"Every child is special", This is not mere words, or lips, but the theory that 'every child a special' is true. Every child born carrying the tendency of each different from each other. He is not the same as anyone else. With the sentence "Every child is special" inadvertently have provided motivation to the child if the child can do it.

Every child born is not the same as the attitude of their parents (father and mother). Probably the same, but a child will not be exactly the same as the nature of both parents. He was born to bring their own nature, bring your own tendencies and their own advantages and disadvantages. With such motivation will appear on himself.

Even children who were born twins, identical though. They are not true in all respects. They are unique, every child is unique. And because it is unique, it would provide motivation to them, that they are special.

This understanding should be understood by parents and teachers private lessons. They must understand in dealing with children, it takes a unique and special way. This can not be equated with anyone, and do not have to be treated just like everyone else. Including if they have a problem, the solution should also be different from the solutions that have been successfully applied to other people. Teachers should be able to provide motivation.

In motivating a child (student), we must understand exactly how the nature of this child. What's really their problem. What are the advantages that they possess? What they have shortcomings? What kind of environment that is around? Psychological conditions such as what they are facing right now? Etc..

There are two factors that make a person be motivated to learn, namely:

First, motivation to learn comes from internal factors. This formed the motivation for self-awareness on the importance of understanding how to develop themselves and learn to live stock.

Second, motivation to learn from external factors, which can be a stimulus from another person, or the surrounding environment that can affect the psychology of the person concerned.

Increase motivation to learn:

Motivation to learn will not be formed if the person does not have desires, ideals, or to realize the benefits of learning for themselves. Therefore, it takes a certain conditioning, to ourselves or anyone else who wants to learn to be motivated spirit.
  • Associating it with a people who love to learn. Associating with people who enjoy learning and achievement, would make us too fond of learning. Also, try searching for people or communities that have a good habit to learn.
  • Ask about experience in a variety of places to people who have or are continuing their education to higher education, those who received scholarships to study abroad, or people who received the award on a presrasi.
  • Habits and their enthusiasm will be contagious to us. Like the analogy of someone who was friends with the artisan blacksmith or a perfume seller. If we associate with artisan blacksmith, then we also splattered the smell of burnt metal, and if mingle with the perfume seller, we would be splashed scent of perfume.
  • Learn anything. The sense studied here broadly understood, both formal and nonformal. We can learn about the various skills such as assembling a computer, learn to write, make movies, learn entrepreneurship, and others.
  • Learning from the internet. We can use the Internet to join a collection of people who enjoy learning. One of our mailing lists can become a means of exchanging opinions, thoughts, and self-motivation.
  • Associate with people who are optimistic and always think positive. In this world, there are people who always seem optimistic despite merudung problem. We will catch the spirit, passion, and sense of optimism if often socialize with people or are in a community like that, and vice versa.
  • Find a motivator. Sometimes, someone takes another person as a booster or a mentor in life. For example: a friend, boyfriend, or spouse. You can do the same by looking for someone / community who can help drive or motivate your learning and achievement.
