Module 6

Module 6 of Educational Psychology in TVET, titled “Motivation in Training,” explores how motivation affects learners’ engagement, performance, and overall success in technical and vocational education. Motivation is the driving force that encourages learners to participate actively, persist through challenges, and achieve their learning goals. Understanding motivation helps TVET trainers create effective teaching strategies that enhance both skill acquisition and personal development. 

Motivation is a critical factor in TVET because it directly influences learners’ willingness to engage in practical tasks and develop professional competencies. Reflecting on this module, I realize that understanding learners’ intrinsic and extrinsic motivators allows trainers to design activities that are meaningful, relevant, and engaging. Motivated learners are more likely to succeed, retain skills, and develop a positive attitude toward lifelong learning. 

Module 6 highlights the pivotal role of motivation in training and skill development in TVET. By applying psychological principles and practical strategies, trainers can foster an environment that encourages learners to stay focused, persistent, and confident in their abilities. Ultimately, motivation in training ensures that learners not only acquire technical skills but also develop the drive and attitude necessary for professional success.
