Motivation can interpreted as the
driving force that has become active. Motivation is a force (push, the reason
for the willingness) of a person to do / Acts that are directed at specific
objectives, (Pasaribu, 1983:50). Mc. Donal in Sardiman, (2003:73),explains
that: "The motivation is the energy in a person who is marked by the
emergence of "felling" and preceded in response to the goal. Thomas
L, Good and Jere Brophy M in Prayitno, (1989:80) states: "Motivation as a
driving force, the steering and reinforce behavior ".
On students actually there is mental
strength and drives the learning. Power mental form of desire, attention,
willingness, expectations, needs, goals, objectives and irisenti. This mental
state is to enable, deliver and attitudes and behaviors directed learning
individual (Koeswara, 1989). There are three The main component in the
motivation.
1.
Needs.
2.
Encouragement.
Needs occurs when an individual
feels there is an imbalance between what he has and he had hoped. Encouragement
is a fulfillment-oriented mental strength expectations or goals. Boost the
goal-oriented is the core motivation. While the goal is to be achieved by an
individual. Purpose of moving the study of behavior, motivation to learn is the
impulse generated by the students to do business in order to achieve something
to be desired. Indication of motivation to learn can visible from the
liveliness and partisipation children in the learning process.
Side view about motivation, Davies
(1986:214) explains that it would be wrong if motivation is considered as a
prerequisite to learning. Better motivation considered as usual willingness to
enter the learning situation. It is reasonable because it does not need to put
things off until there is a learning activity / emerging the proper motivation
to learn, then the best strategy without ignoring the presence or absence of
motivation, teachers should focus on delivering material in such a way that
motivated students can develop and reinforced during the learning process takes
place.
