Abstract

  The main aim of the study was to find out the effect of motivation on the academic achievements of the students. The objectives of the study were to explore the motivational techniques of elementary school teachers and to evaluate the effect of the motivational techniques of elementary teachers on the academic achievement of students. Ex-post-facto design was used to conduct the research, and a survey method was used to collect the data. 3768 elementary school teachers at public sector elementary schools of district Kotli were the population of the study. A stratified r, random sampling technique was used to select the sample. 309 (200 female, and 109 male) elementary school teachers were the sample of the study. A five-point Likert scale questionnaire developed by the researcher was used to collect the data. The questionnaire consisted of twelve motivational techniques and 48 statements. Based on the results of pilot testing reliability of the instrument was checked by using Cronbach's alpha statistical technique. The reliability of the instrument was 0.79. Data were analyzed by using SPSS version 25. Descriptive statistics were used to explore the motivational techniques, whereas regression analyses were used to find out the impact of the motivational techniques. It was concluded that motivational techniques have a significant effect on the academic achievement of the students. It is recommended that the teachers use techniques such as “make content relevant to students”, and “values, and goals, and reward student achievement, and learning efforts” to get good grades from their students.
