Introduction

Education is a process of learning and teaching at a healthy and positive change in the behavior of individual. It enables them to distinguish between right and wrong and to lead a comfortable and respectable life by learning the art of living in a society. Islam favors education as is clear from the first revelation in the Holy Quran (Sura, Aalaq)

Teachers at the secondary level do not provide enough motivation to make the teaching and learning environment. But they must be aware of the fact that motivation plays important role to enhance the learning, interest and individual’s attitude and to utilize their creative skills. They always show readiness to achieve their goals. Motivation is studied under two types Intrinsic Motivation and Extrinsic Motivation. The first one comes from inside while the second one depends on the surrounding environment.
