2) Multiple Intelligence
There is no doubt that each individual has uniqueness and as a result they differ from one another because of varying abilities. Howard Gardner who is well-known as a father of Multiple Intelligences (MI) theory believes that individual’s intelligence indicates potentials that must be nurtured. McInerney (2015) therefore advises that attention, encouragement and inclusive trainings should be given to develop individuals’ competence. There are nine intelligences proposed by Gardner and he asserts that some people might be strongest in one intelligence and others might be a blend of some (cited in Pritchard, 2014). These intelligences are linguistic, logical/mathematical, musical, spatial/visual, kinaesthetic, interpersonal, …show more content…
It also can be described as what encourages people to do the activity and what their reasons in doing it (Wigfield, Ho, & Mason-Singh, 2011). Basically, there are two different motivations proposed by theorists namely intrinsic and extrinsic.

Whether they are motivated because they love learning history or another reason, research has shown that students tend to engage in the tasks that are meaningful and not too challenging (Wigfield et al, 2011). Hence, it can be said that giving a simple question in the beginning of class may automatically make students interested in the lesson. Another factor affects students’ motivation is the interaction between students and teacher or amongst students. Wegfield et al (2011) insist that when teachers pay attention to their students, students are more likely to participate in the activities and have positive beliefs in their achievement. From the video, it is noticed that the relation between the teacher and students is good and it is proven when any kind of answers expressed by the students are appreciated by the teacher. Therefore, by responding “ok, excellent!” or “very good”, students’ motivation might develop and this will lead to positively value on
