EIGHT ASPECTS OF MOTIVATIONAL DEVELOPMENT AMONG EDUCATORS

Abstract

This study attempts to discover how motivation is fostered among educators. The study was carried out using a qualitative approach (multi-case multi-site exploration case study), involving 7 experienced educators. Data was collected through in-depth and focus group interviews and analyzed thematically using NVivo 12.0 software. The results show that there are eight major aspects in motivational development among educators, namely: (i) maximum effort, (ii) seeing challenges as opportunities, (iii) specific planning, (iv) discipline and consistency, (v) learning from the success of others, (vi) learning from one's own failure, (vii) well-defined goals, and (viii) great passion. The eight aspects of motivational development established from this study holistically refer to the inner-self. This study illustrates that motivational building can be carried out independently throughout one's life through these aspects.
