Motivational Theory

[suchismita sahu]

Motivational speakers are persons engaged in public speaking who help motivate others with their knowledge and real-life stories in public setting such as sales seminar and corporate meetings.

Many are well-known figures such as retired athletes and movie and TV actors while others are persons who have received little public attention early in their lives but have been raised by events to the status of war hero or other heroic figure such as a firefighter involved in the aftermath of the September 11 terrorist attacks or the 1995 Oklahoma City federal building bombing.

Often, "inspirational" material is included in such presentations, usually of somewhat generic "spirituality" but occasionally an overtly Christian message.

The best-known parody of this occupation in North America in recent years was that performed as a recurring sketch comedy character on Saturday Night Live by the late Chris Farley .

Motivational Theory

Motivational Theory is a branch of educational psychology used to energize and direct student behavior through motivation. It points students in the right direction and attempts to keep them going in that direction. Because students are not always internally motivated, they sometimes need situated motivation, which is found in environmental conditions that the teacher creates.

There are two kinds of motivation: ' Intrinsic motivation occurs when an individual is internally motivated to do something because it either brings them pleasure, they think it is important, or they feel that what they are learning is morally significant. ' Extrinsic motivation comes into play when a student is compelled to do something or act a certain way because of factors external to themselves (like money or good grades).
