“…They found that students also considered that "nice/kind" and "humorous" teachers were considered inspiring by students. Also, the research carried out by Kashif et al, (2013) with Pakistani students suggested that faculty members who were friendly and approachable enhanced student's motivation to learn in business classrooms. This finding may suggest that teachers that display this characteristic may be considered inspiring regardless of the cultural context being studied.…”

“…Inspiration is one of the many forms can take lecturer-student relationship, and it is important to study using scientifically sound theories, such as Thrash & Elliot's (2003 model. Moreover, several authors believe that the knowledge concerning the development of various factors that instil motivation to learn amongst business students has been limited (Kashif et al, 2013) and that studies in the western world are on the way to proving this phenomenon (Adcroft, 2010). Additionally, several studies have found some cultural differences in learning, motivation to learn, goals and purposes of learning, and learning strategies adopted (Marsella et al, 1985;Weisz, 1984).…”

Teachers are an important source of inspiration for their students. Although educational research considers inspiration to be an important motivational construct that generates positive results for students, the different conceptual interpretations of the construct have made its study difficult. This situation is accentuated in the context of Latin America, due to the scarcity of empirical studies that contribute to its understanding. Considering the teacher as a source of inspiration and based on the inspiration model of Thrash & Elliot (2003, 2004), this study seeks to understand how students experience inspiration. Twenty university students were interviewed about their experiences of inspiration about their professors. The interviews were evaluated through thematic analysis. The results revealed 5 themes that highlight the characteristics of the inspiring teacher. Additionally, the thematic analyzes verified the existence of the three characteristics of the inspiration model (evocation: 1 theme, transcendence: 3 themes, and motivation: 4 themes). The study contributes by laying the foundations for formulating a guide that characterizes the inspiring teacher. As well as formulate positive insights focused on the characteristics of inspiration that allow students to transcend professionally through their university studies.

“…Misalnya, dalam lingkungan yang aman, tentram, nyaman dan indah maka siswa akan lebih semangat dan termotivasi untuk belajar. Motivasi merupakan faktor penyebab belajar yang dapat memperlancar aktivitas belajar, sehingga siswa yang termotivasi tinggi dalam belajar memungkinkan akan memperoleh hasil belajar yang tinggi pula, artinya semakin tinggi motivasinya maka semakin tinggi usaha dan upaya yang dilakukan sehingga semakin tinggi hasil yang diperolehnya (Abdullah & Yih, 2014;Barak, Watted, & Haick, 2016;Fischer & Sliwka, 2018;Gegenfurtner & Vauras, 2012;Kashif, Ayyaz, Raza, & Hamid, 2013;McComb & Kirkpatrick, 2016).…”

“…The Internet usage is on the rise which depends upon several factors such as demographics, personality and perceived barriers among its users (Porter & Donthu, 2006). In an era where higher education is facing several challenges regarding student motivation to lean (Kashif, Ayyaz, Raza, & Hamid, 2013), student feedback issues (Kashif, ur Rehman, Mustafa, & Basharat, 2014), student engagement and involvement with classroom activities (Kashif & Basharat, 2014) and the efforts of academia to recognize its quality among its major stakeholders (the students; Kashif, Ramayah, & Sarifuddin, 2014), the importance of Internet usage among students and faculty cannot be neglected to meet these challenges.…”
