It is important to motivate learners because when they are motivated, they pay more attention, put in more effort, persist for longer, and are able to work more independently. On the other hand, unmotivated learners get distracted easily and do the bare minimum.
By motivating learners, teachers can help them achieve their full potential and become successful in their academic and personal lives. Motivation can also lead to a more positive and enjoyable learning experience for both the learners and the teachers.
