Abstract

Motivation is the most important part of academic success. It involves internal and external factors that give desire and energy in people to be continually interested and committed to a job, role, or subject or to make an effort to attain a goal. This is important in almost every aspect of human behavior. When you make a decision, your choice is influenced by your motivation. Motivation is an internal process that makes a person move toward a goal, which makes it useful for students. Motivation, similar to intelligence, cannot be directly observed. Motivation can only be deduced by noting a person’s behavior. As students, being motivated is useful to become active in class and have a positive mind in the community and also in school. The researchers used a survey questionnaire to gather information from selected Grade 12 Humanities and Social Sciences (HUMSS) Strand students. This research questionnaire will help to gather ideas or information easily. Personal observation and results were gathered from this survey questionnaire. The location of this study was inside Bestlink College of the Philippines. The data gathered from the questionnaire served as the primary data, and those gathered from the literature and studies are the secondary data. This study aimed to determine the impact of motivating factors that affect the study habits of Grade 12 HUMSS Strand students from their perspective. Motivation is important to the students to make them excited about studying. Motivation also creates a positive impact on the students. The results of this study showed that motivation significantly affects the academic performance of every student. The results of this research showed that motivation affects the academic performance of students having more excitement in the study and by giving them motivational strategies. The research suggested that teachers, parents, and school administration must guide their students and children to achieve their goals.
