There are three things to remember about education. The first is motivation. The second one is motivation. The third one is motivation. (former U.S. Secretary of Education Terrel Bell).

Motivation has been always a major concern for educators. It’s always viewed as a primary and essential factor due to its importance in the educational environment. Motivation has several effects on students` learning and behavior since it`s the need or the desire that energizes, directs, and sustains behavior toward a certain goal (Hancock, 2004).

Students came to schools intrinsically motivated. They have this strong desire to learn and discover new things throughout their academic journey. They came to us with high self-esteem and high expectations about learning and education in general. But unfortunately teachers, school system and school curriculum sometimes play an important and major role in demotivating and frustrating students. 

So this lack of motivation affects our students and appears to increase each year from cycle one to high school. Students can demonstrate and show this lack of motivation and encouragement by blocking and withholding efforts in the educational field as well as in some extracurricular activities or mind games and competitions. 

therefore, we need to create, provide and inspire the conditions and keys for the growth of motivation in our students. 

Languages are made up of different systems. These systems contribute in giving it meaning and sense as well. One of the important language system is syntax. Syntax refers to the study of rules that give the correct word order in the sentence so that grammaticality will be correct. 

 

Syntax is greatly intertwined with teaching. When we talk about teaching a correct formation of sentence structure, syntax pops in. Additionally, one major quality for a teacher to possess in the teaching profession is that she should balance her qualities between knowledge and skills of teaching. In other words, teaching is the profession that includes the art and science of teaching. And this absolutely could be related to syntax too. Since syntax is a cognitive science i.e. a cover term for a group of disciplines that all have the same goal which is actually describing and explaining human`s ability to think more about abstract notions.

Observation is a crucial part in teaching and learning too. It presents opportunities that help us figure out what a real teacher life looks like. It helps us develop and establish strategies and techniques that will aid our learning processes as noble teachers. This is as well could be affiliated to importance of observing children in which you really start to realize that you are applying what you have learned as raw material and you feel the pleasure of being with them. When I observe children playing this helps me discover their interest. when I observe children I can assess their developmental stages and level. When engaging in conversations and tasks with them I can figure out their strengths and weaknesses which indeed enlighten up my way in planning lessons, designing activities and modifying my methodologies.

Even more, observations are needed in teaching and they are very essential and important at every stage of the teaching career because the teaching and education field is in continues progress and change so teachers need to keep in touch with every change and development so they catch up every single detail that might come in handy in their effortful noble career.

By highlighting and capitalizing on the importance of observations in the teaching career, we are subsequently capitalizing on the importance of utilizing case studies in teaching since it helps us in identifying the context of the problem that we are facing then it contributes in suggesting solutions that would help in solving it. Additionally, case studies provide us with key facts that we should be considering when dealing with the problem in addition to some alternatives that would be available to us while making decisions.
