Learning Style in one educational system play an important role in students' motivations. If in one educational system ask students to just learn and memorize the materials of their lessons the learning motivation and creativity will be no longer exist in the student.
On the other hand when in one educational system the learning system is based on the interests, involving students in different subjects, and Project Based Learning the Learning motivation and creativity would be increased in the students.

Hello, Mrs. Ansari
Last week when I asked from my mom about your project's idea and said to her your questions. She said to me learning motivation has direct association with IQ because who has not IQ can not understand any lessens. And she said that to me if parents are not good or polite and they don't help to their children, children lose their learning motivation.

Dear Friends:
In response to your questions, please find the following brief thoughts on the subject. It is, of course, a very important topic and deserves to be discussed by all students in the class. The following might help to ignite the discussion:
1-How can we increase Learning motivation?
We can increase learning motivation by identifying students' subjects of interest, their talents, and by encouraging them whenever they achieve their goals.
2-What is the most effective thing in Learning?
Exercise or practice, when combined with understanding is perhaps the most effective toll to my mind.
3- Does learning motivation have any association with IQ?
Not necessarily. We all know students who may compensate for their "lower IQ" by working harder. In other words, they turn a negative given into a positive factor, through increased motivation.
4- How can families have positive impact on learning motivation?
By encouraging and supporting whenever necessary, and by having realistic expectations.
5- How can you describe your students' motivation from learning?
6- How do the environment influence learning motivation?
In many ways, environment could have positive or negative impact on learning motivation. For example, a student who is surrounded by friends or family members who do not value learning and education could well be negatively affected and suffer from a lower learning motivation.
7- How do the teachers influence learning motivation?
Teachers could have both negative and positive influences on their students' learning motivation. A good teacher, who commands his/her subject, enjoys teaching and being a teacher, and views his/her students as young beings with "potentials" to be fulfilled could act as a "role model," who demonstrate the value and impact of education in living, hence gravely increasing students' learning motivation.

Hi, dear Mrs. Ansari
Sometimes encourage and nearly all the time having special aims lead people to improve learning motivation.
The most effective parameter on learning in having strong and active personality and special goals and partially depends on IQ.
Teachers can have negative and positive influence both .the direct compare of students by their teachers maybe has negative effect on them, and it leads the decrease the learning motivation.
Asking exact question, discussions the answers in special groups, testing the result of discussions in the environment, in laboratory and etc are another effective parameters that improve learning motivations.

Nowadays, with so many distractions like TV, internet, DVD, it is very difficult for young people to really give themselves for 100% to their studies. Although we know that education is very important for our future, we often neglect this. The result is that we fail and that is even more demotivating.
Many students complain that the way teachers present the learning material is very boring. This is true. If students are involved in the learning process they feel that they are really part of it and it gives them confidence to do their best. We learn constantly, not only from books but from our friends, family, the surroundings, from TV and the media. We learn positive things and negative things. However, the negative things like violence, war, crime seem to be dominating.Our elders complain that moral values have declined because of all the negative influence on us. Webelieve that that is true as well. But much depends on our upbringing and us.
Our teachers always say to us that we have our future and our lives in our own hands. And that we need the guidance from our parents and teachers tobecome responsible citizens. If young people are praised for their achievements, no matter how small, it motivates them to reach higher. If young people's opinions are valued, ifgrown ups give them a chance to speak their minds, they will become confident and this will motivate them to become critical. In this way they can be an example for other youngsters.
Young people are not stupid. They want to doa lot if they are given the chance and if people believe in them. This sounds so simple but still it doesn't happen. We think that if youngsters get involved in community work, like cleaning up a neighborhood, they will become aware of their capacities and this will booster their egos and self- respect. In this way motivation comes automatically.
By doing this project we are motivated to write in English. English is a foreign language for us and quite difficult. But just the fact that we don't get a mark for it, motivates us to write and the fact that you , our peers, have the same problem, so we don't feel shy.
