Positive Psychology in Helping Students to Be More Motivated in the Class
Louis L. Warren
(East Carolina University, USA)
Abstract: Positive psychology is a systematic analysis of one’s strengths in being able to find personal fulfillment in their life experiences. Even though the concepts of positive psychology have been explored, there is little information on the interaction between different constructs in fostering motivation within the classroom. This paper focuses on how positive psychology can be used to possibly strengthen students’ motivation and academic performances within the classroom. The findings of this paper suggest that an instructor must be able to integrate multiple motivation strategies in order for positive psychology to have any impact on students’ performances in the classroom.
Key words: motivation, academics, students, classroom, personal fulfillment
