Instructions ›

Read the text and answer the multiple-choice question by selecting the correct response. Only one response is correct.

Another student may be more concerned with the social side of school, socialising with classmates frequently and attending after¬school activities almost every day. Motivation is important in education because it has several effects on students' learning and behaviour. It encourages students to work towards a particular goal, increases the amount of effort and energy the student invests, makes students more likely to begin and continue with activities, affects cognitive processes and decides which consequences are rewarding or punishing. Because of these issues just identified, motivation produces improved performance.

Option 3: "the effects of student motivation can be seen in positive results."

Explanation: This option aligns with the text's main idea, which emphasizes that motivation leads to improved performance and various positive outcomes in students' learning and behavior. The text explicitly states that motivation produces 'improved performance,' supporting this option.

Option 1: "students generally show less motivation than they should."

Explanation: This option contradicts the text, which states that 'almost all students are motivated in one way or another.' The author does not suggest that students lack motivation; rather, they highlight the various forms of motivation present among students.

Option 2: "ways of increasing student motivation have been used well."

Explanation: The text does not discuss specific methods for increasing motivation or evaluate their effectiveness. Instead, it focuses on the importance and effects of motivation itself, making this option irrelevant to the main idea.

Option 4: "some students use their motivation in ways that waste time."

Explanation: This option misinterprets the text. While it mentions different motivations among students, it does not imply that any of these motivations are wasted. Instead, it highlights the positive effects of motivation, making this option inaccurate.
