According to Ryan and Deci [1], “to be motivated means to be moved to do something. A person who feels no impetus or inspiration to act is thus characterized as unmotivated, whereas someone who is energized or activated towards an end is considered motivated. (p. 54)” Moreover, Sternberg [2] believes that motivation is very important for academic accomplishment and according to Newmann [3], students who are engaged are involved in their own learning. For a truly engaged learner, the joy of learning inspires a persistence to accomplish the desired goals even in the face of difficulty [4]. Engaged students have the skills to work with others and know how to transfer knowledge to solve problems creatively. The most engaging work allows for creativity, sparks
curiosity, provides an opportunity to work with others, and produces a feeling of success [5].
