Academic, teaching support, learning motivation, higher education institutionsAbstract
Several strategies encourage students to pursue higher education. The influences could be internal or external. This article examines the academic teaching support on learning motivation in higher education institutions in students’ drive to learn. The existing research on motivation for learning indicates how academics might improve students’ motivation for academic achievement. Though students might possess a natural drive to study, the academic help they receive have an enormous effect on their educational experience. An academic contribution to motivation entails, yet is not confined to, establishing an atmosphere conducive to education. The academic function of supporting student independence, value, along with connection of the subject boost’s motivation for educational pursuits. Furthermore, the academic’s capacity to enhance students’ competency, enthusiasm for the content being learned along with feeling of self-efficacy all have an impact on students’ drive for education.
