What makes us move forward, to grow, to aspire to more?Is it only a dream or a desire to survive?Is there something that motivates us stronger?In the original meaning of a stimulus - a sharp object, a stick with a tip, which urge on the bull.Only later the word came to be used figuratively.It came to mean "a strong motivating factor."That he is able to make us not only to develop and strive for more.Stimulus - the main tool of motivation.In neurophysiology this word has another meaning.According to the teachings of Pavlov and his followers, the stimulus - it is the impact on the nerve endings, causing an indispensable response-reaction.It is said that the physiological significance of different ways to respond, depending on the organism, as well as psychologically.That would be one incentive for the other may be an inhibiting factor.
idea of motivating use all those involved in human resources, personnel, and psychology.For the employer, seeking to obtain the maximum return from the employee incentive - that is all that encourages employees to best perform their duties.In this sense, it can be positive or negative.Positive - the desire for praise or reward promised.Negative - the desire to avoid censure or punishment.For employee incentive - it is, above all, remuneration.Only on the second place are self-realization, professional achievement, recognition, praise.
Due to the fact that the stimulus - it is a simple formula "action - reaction", use it as a conscious (in the case where there is a need to manipulate or control another person), and unconsciously.Even within the family can be traced to the same relatively simple chain.Stimulus - is one of the basic elements of child-rearing.If you have a positive, award motivation, rather than fear of punishment and trouble, the child is formed more optimistic, active position in life.Conversely, if there is no stimulus, or it is negative, there may be serious personal problems.Motivation impetus for action can be both internal and external.For the harmonious development of personality necessary to form the ability to find incentives in himself or in the spiritual realm.Because education - is not taming, and the person must look for their place in life.However, to achieve this internal motivation is very difficult.
How often do we substitute the true purpose of development - self-actualization, creativity - trappings.Have something (house, car), have power or position in society seems to be important.But in this case, if something breaks, if the target is slipping, falls and motivation of the person.The question is: "how to live, if not an incentive?".Everyone is looking for answers for itself because of its sophistication and spirituality.External incentive to lose easily.Inside will support spodvigaet to the action, motivate to normal life.For some, this could be an incentive faith, for others - creativity, the need for self-expression.Formation of ability to intrinsic motivation is the most important task of any educator.
