Introduction
The issue of forming learning motivation in primary school students is one of the
important aspects of the educational process. Students' motivation for learning activities affects
how effectively and deeply they master the material studied. Motivation is an important factor
that determines students' enthusiasm for learning, the level of goal-orientation, and their
willingness to work on themselves. The formation of students' motivation, especially in primary
school, creates the foundation for their future academic activity and overall development.
At the primary school level, there are a number of factors that create motivation in
students, all of which are interrelated. These factors include the teacher's methodology, family
environment, school environment, as well as the personal interests and needs of students.
Therefore, the role of educators in the formation of learning motivation in primary school
students is very large, and in order to effectively organize this process, it is necessary to use
various approaches and methods.
This article analyzes the factors of formation of learning motivation in primary school
students.
Literature analysis and method
Educating young people as free-thinking, innovative and well-rounded individuals is
carried out from the primary grades, this process is one of the important tasks. For this reason,
the content of education is being radically updated. During the period of junior school age,
motives for independent learning arise in a child, and they arise in the simplest form - in the
acquisition of knowledge, along with an interest in additional sources and reading books on
various topics.

Social motives cause a child who comes to the first grade to understand the reasons for
the need to read and learn from a non-differentiated, general understanding, and to understand
the content of reading "for himself". The formation of a student's learning independence based
on motives depends on the conditions of developing education: − the purpose of the activity.
What is being done and why it is being done should be clear to the child. − motives are of
great importance in the student's activity. Motives direct action to achieve the set goal. − the
content of the activity.
Providing knowledge that the student independently seeks and acquires, not knowledge
given by the teacher. Tasks that require various mental actions lead to the development of student
knowledge. − the actions that are part of the activity performed by the student are of great
importance. Actions can be different. Simple actions (repetition of certain actions), creative
actions, practical and mental actions.
Learning motivation is the internal desire and need of students for the educational
process.
Motivation is important in forming students' interest in learning and their approach to
activity. The formation of motivation for primary school students plays a significant role in their
future academic and personal development. Motivation not only helps to increase the
effectiveness of the learning process, but also helps to strengthen the psychological health of
students. For this process to be effective, there are several factors that influence each other.
The teacher's pedagogical approach and methodology are key factors in shaping the
learning motivation of primary school students. How the teacher organizes the lesson plays an
important role in increasing the students' enthusiasm for learning. For example, if the teacher
organizes the lessons in interesting, interactive and creative ways, students feel like active
participants. In acquiring new knowledge, students can be made more interesting by providing
them with experiential knowledge, practical exercises and games. The teacher's approach to
students also increases motivation: when they receive love and attention from the teacher, their
enthusiasm for learning increases. The teacher's choice of effective teaching methods, taking into
account the individual needs of students and listening to their opinions during the lesson
increases their interest in learning.
The attitude of parents and families towards students is of great importance in forming
their enthusiasm for education. The formation of a positive attitude towards reading and
education in the family increases the student's interest in learning.

Parents should encourage their children in the educational process, emphasize their
successes. The family, being interested in the successes of their children and giving them
encouraging words, inspires them to achieve even better results.
Effective cooperation between parents and teachers further strengthens the motivation of
students to learn. Parents play an important role in motivating students to learn, directly
influencing the educational process. Each student has their own interests, characteristics and
needs.
For primary school students, it is very important to take into account personal interests in
the educational process. Organizing lessons through topics and activities that interest students
increases their motivation to learn. For example, if a student loves nature, he should be provided
with interesting and useful materials on subjects such as natural science and biology. Organizing
the educational process based on the personal interests of students strengthens their desire to
learn and increases their motivation to learn. The school environment also plays an important
role in shaping students' learning motivation. Students should feel free and safe at school.
Creating a favorable environment for personal development increases students' interest in
learning. Creating opportunities for students to freely express their opinions, developing mutual
respect and friendly relations among them, forms positive motivation in students. Social relations
at school, trusting relationships between teachers and students increase students' interest in
learning. At the same time, appropriate conditions should be created in the school to strengthen
the physical and mental health of students.
It is very important to encourage and positively evaluate students' successes in order to
increase their motivation for learning. Even small achievements of students deserve praise,
which increases their self-confidence. By recognizing and encouraging students' successes, the
teacher increases their enthusiasm for learning. Being an example to other students, positively
evaluating and encouraging successful students, increases the enthusiasm for learning in the rest
of the students. This, in turn, increases the enthusiasm of students to continue their educational
activities and always achieve their goals.

students with hands-on experience during the learning process, such as games, group work, and
practical exercises, increases their motivation. It is important to make learning not only useful
but also enjoyable for students.
The process of forming learning motivation in primary school students is complex and
multifaceted, and depends on the teacher's approach, family environment, student's personal
interests, and the school environment. Motivation can be increased by encouraging students,
highlighting successes, and organizing interesting and practical lessons. At the same time,
cooperation between teachers and parents, a positive attitude towards students, and an approach
that is appropriate to the interests and needs of students during the lesson increase the
effectiveness of education. All this strengthens the desire of primary school students to learn and
turns them into successful students.
Conclusion
The formation of learning motivation in primary school students is a very important
factor in increasing the effectiveness of the educational process. Students' motivation affects not
only their success in learning, but also their overall development. The formation of motivation
makes students interested in learning, encourages them to always strive for new knowledge and
achieve their goals. The teacher's pedagogical approach, teaching methods, and motivating
students in the educational process are of great importance.
Effective teaching methods, interesting and interactive approaches increase students'
enthusiasm for learning. Also, the family's attitude to education and cooperation with the teacher
are important factors in strengthening students' motivation, and highlighting and encouraging
students' successes has a positive effect on their future academic activities. Providing lessons and
activities that are suitable for students' personal needs and interests helps to increase their
motivation. A positive environment created in the school creates favorable conditions for
students to have safe and free learning opportunities and achieve their goals.
Also, encouraging and positively assessing success increases students' self-confidence,
makes them more actively involved in learning. At the same time, the process of forming
learning motivation in primary school students not only increases students' enthusiasm for
learning, but also affects their overall personal development.
This process creates a solid foundation for students' future educational success.
Therefore, special attention should be paid to the formation of learning motivation in
primary education.
