CHAPTER II
THEORETICAL FOUNDATION
A. Motive and Motivation
Motive is a stimulus and encouragement to create behavior. Beside that, there are some
definitions of motive and motivation given by some experts.
According to Woodworth (1982:17), a motive is a set predisposes the individual of certain
activities and for seeking certain goals. While according to Fransen (1982: 18), motive is
internal conditions that arouse sustain direct and determine the intensity of learning effort, and
also define the set satisfying or unsatisfying consequences of goal. Tadjab (1994:101) states
Motive adalah daya penggerak dalam diri seseorang untuk melaksanakan aktivitas-aktivitas
tertentu demi mencapai suatu tujuan tertentu.
Hilgard in Pasaribu (1982:18) defines motivation as a general term characterizing the needs,
aspirations, purposes of the organism as these initiate or regulated need satisfying or goal seeking
behavior. Donald (in Pasaribu 1982:19) gives the definition of motivation as an energy change
with the person characterized by effective arousal and anticipatory goal reaction. And according
to Martin (in Tadjib 1994:2), Motivasi adalah suatu tenaga atau faktor yang terdapat dalam diri
manusia yang menimbulkan, mengarahkan dan mengorganisasikan tingkah laku.
From the definitions above, it can be concluded that motivation is a situation inside of human
that causes someone does activities to reach a goal.
B. Types of Motivation
According to A. Tabrani (1992:72) there are four types of motivation, namely:
a. Competition
It is divided into two, they are: achievement competition and competition to other people. In
achievement competition, the students must know the result that is achieved and then attempt to
increase the result. Meanwhile in competition to other people, the students learn and compare the
result achieved with other students.
b. Clear goal
Motivation encourages the students to achieve the goal. If the goal is clear and useful for the
students, the students will attempt to achieve that goal.
c. Close to the goal
If the students see that the goal is far, they will be lazy to achieve and increase the goal. On the
contrary, the students will be motivated to reach the goal if it is close to the students.
d. Interest
Interest influences a process of achievement to a motivation. If someone is not interested in
something, she/he will not do any activity. But if someone has interest in learning she/he will
learn enthusiastically. Someone interest to learn something can be seen from her/his desire to
study.
The students who have interest in learning English will feel enjoy and give full attention when
they follow the lesson. By knowing this, the teacher needs to attempt to raise students interest
based on students behavior and achievement. The students have put interest to the lesson
indicated by their behavior. For example: if they give full attention, enjoy and feel happy in the
class, and they will achieve good achievement.

C. Ways of Creating Learning Motivation


According to Sardiman (1991:91) there are 10 ways to raise motivation in learning activity at
school, namely:
a. Give score
Score is a symbol of value in learning activity. The scores are the strongest motivation for
students.
b. Prize
Prize is a motivation arousal too, but it is not always like that. For a work, perhaps it is not
interesting for someone who is not interested in it.
c. Competition
Competition is used as an instrument of motivation to encourage students learning. The
individual or group competition can increase students achievement.
d. Ego-Involvement
Ego-Involvement is meant to raise consciousness to students. By applying it,
the students will feel the importance of the task and receive it as challenge.
e. Give test
The students will be diligent to learn if they know that there will be a test. Therefore, giving a
test is an instrument of motivation too.
f. To know the result

g. Praise
If there is a student successful in finishing their task well in learning, the teacher needs to give
praise. It is a kind of positive reinforcement and motivation.
h. Punishment
Punishment is a negative reinforcement. But if it is given exactly and prudently the punishment
will be a tool of motivation.
i. Desire to learn
It means that there is an element of consciousness to study.
j. Interest
A motivation rises because there is a need. An interest is a tool of principal communication. The
process of learning will run well if there is an interest.

learn, they are:
a. Create learning situation that is enjoyable
The situation of learning must be enjoyable. The enjoyable situation can arouse students
learning motivation.
b. Give prize

will encourage students to get good score.

a positive reinforcement and can raise desire of student to study.
d. Competition
Competition is needed too, because it can raise achievement for individual or group competition.
e. Cooperation

In learning activity, cooperation can raise the students interest in learning group. The
cooperation can give encouragement to learn and help the students who is less clever.
f. Inform students there will be a test
The student will be more diligent to study if they know that there will be a test. This is useful to
increase their achievement.
g. Ego-Involvement
The students behavior can appear in tasks that they have done if the students feel the importance
of tasks and receive it as challenge. So, they will do that task diligently.
h. To arrange the students seat variously
The arrangement of students seat will create the harmony of learning situation. The teacher and
students do not feel bored to use and occupy that class.
i. Use various method in teaching to fit the material
By using various methods in teaching to fit the material, the role of students in learning can be
increased.
j. To give comment to students work
Beside giving score, comment about mistake that have been made by students in learning is also
important to encourage students to learn, such as very good work, next time will be better,
actually you are able to do the task, but it is still less accurate.
k. To give comment to students work
For the students who make mistake, lazy and bad behavior in learning activity, the warning can
be a tool to correct behavior. Example: The student who makes noise in the class.
l. Punishment as tool of education
Punishment can be used if the other way is not effective. It may be done if it can change the
students behavior.
Based on the opinions above, it can be concluded that the teacher in raising learning motivation
need to encourage students spirit and release burden. Therefore, the goal of teaching and
learning activity can be achieved optimally.
