Abstract
This article presents the opinions of domestic and foreign scientists on modern pedagogical and psychological methods for developing students' motivation to study. Since it has a direct impact on academic achievement, engagement, and long-term success, increasing students' motivation to study is an essential component of contemporary education. By combining theories of intrinsic and extrinsic motivation with real-world applications in educational contexts, this research investigates modern pedagogical and psychological strategies that improve student motivation. Inquiry-based learning, gamification, and student-centered learning are examples of contemporary educational strategies that have proven successful in increasing motivation. Teachers may create a more dynamic and engaging atmosphere that meets the requirements of a varied student body by utilising technology, personalised learning paths, and active learning practices. Furthermore, the function of constructive criticism and formative evaluation is explored, emphasising how prompt, tailored feedback raises students' motivation and sense of self-efficacy.
