This is probably the simplest explanation about motivation. Motivation can be co nsidered with the state of having encouragement to do something. This is the motivation of a person to attain goals. The longing for achievement is inherent in every man, but not all persons look to achievement as their motiv ation. They are motivated by a goal. In order to attain that goal, they are will ing to go as far as possible. The complexity of the goal is determined by a pers on’s perception. The purpose of the study on Achievement Motivation is to find out the motivation behind every achieved goal. So the investigator has taken up the study. 1.1.1 WHAT IS MOTIVATION?

Many people know motivation as the driving force behind an action. This is proba bly the simplest explanation about motivation. Motivation can be considered the state of having encouragement to do something. Why do people do what they do? Why do we go on every day, living our liv es and trying to find justification for our existence? Some people think that th ey can find purpose in the things that motivate them. Others just see the motiva tion and react automatically. There is no one thing that motivates people to perform certain actions. People a re different, so it follows that their motivations have to be different. 1.1.2 TYPES OF MOTIVATION 1.1.1 Achievement This is the motivation of a person to attain goals. The longing for achievement is inherent in every man, but not all persons look to achievement as their motiv ation. They are motivated by a goal. In order to attain that goal, they are will ing to go as far as possible. The complexity of the goal is determined by a pers on s perception. To us, the terms "simple" and "complex" are purely relative. What one person thi nks is an easy goal to accomplish may seem to be impossible to another person. H owever, if your motivation is achievement, you will find that your goals will gr ow increasingly complex as time goes by. 1.1.2 Socialization Some people consider socialization to be their main motivation for actions. This is especially evident in the situation of peer pressure. Some people are willin g to do anything to be treated as an equal within a group structure. The idea of being accepted among a group of people is their motivation for doing certain th ings. 1.1.3 Incentive motivation This motivation involves rewards. People who believe that they will receive rewa rds for doing something are motivated to do everything they can to reach a certa in goal. While achievement motivation is focused on the goal itself, incentive m otivation is driven by the fact that the goal will give people benefits. Incenti ve motivation is used in companies through bonuses and other types of compensati on for additional work. By offering incentives, companies hope to raise productivity and motivate their employees to work harder. 1.1.4 Fear motivation When incentives do not work, people often turn to fear and punishment as the nex t tools. Fear motivation involves pointing out various consequences if someone d oes not follow a set of prescribed behavior. This is often seen in companies as working hand-in-hand with incentive motivation. Workers are often faced with a r eward and punishment system, wherein they are given incentives if they accomplis h a certain goal, but they are given punishments when they disobey certain polic ies. 1.1.5 Change motivation Sometimes people do things just to bring about changes within their immediate en vironment. Change motivation is often the cause of true progress. People just be come tired of how things are and thus, think of ways to improve it. 1.1.6 MASLOW THEORY OF MOTIVATION

The explanation of Maslow Theory is given in next page.

1.1.7 Definition of Need for Achievement. Personality trait characterized by an enduring and consistent concern with setti ng and meeting high standards of achievement. This need is influenced by interna l drive for action (intrinsic motivation), and the pressure exerted by the expec tations of others (extrinsic motivation). Measured by thematic appreciation test s, need for achievement motivates an individual to succeed in competition. 1.1.8 Theory of Needs. In his acquired-needs theory, David McClelland proposed that an individual’s speci fic needs are acquired over time and are shaped by one’s life experiences. Most of these needs can be classed as achievement, affiliation, or power. A person’s moti vation and effectiveness in certain job functions are influenced by these three needs. McClelland’s theory sometimes is referred to as the three need theory or as the learned needs theory. 1.1.9 Achievement People with a high need for achievement (nAch) seek to excel and thus tend to av oid both low-risk situations. Achievers avoid low-risk situations because the ea sily attained success is not a genuine achievement. In high-risk projects, achie vers see the outcome as one of chance rather than one’s own effort. High nAch indi viduals prefer work that has a moderate probability of success, ideally a 50% ch ance. Achievers need regular feedback in order to monitor the progress of their achievements. They prefer either to work alone or with other high achievers. 1.1.10 Power A person’s need for power (nPow) can be one of two types- personal and institution al. Those who need personal power want to direct others, and this need often is perceived as undesirable. Persons who need institutional power (also known as so cial power) want to organize the efforts of others to further the goals of the o rganization. Managers with a high need for institutional power tend to be more e ffective than those with a high need for personal power. 1.2.

The present chapter is “ Research Design” In which origin of the problem, populatio n, sample, method of the study, tool for data collection, the process of data c ollection, method of data analysis and experience during the data collection are discussed. 3.2 Origin of the Problem During my past experience and varies Teaching training Project that there is a d eference between various factors in respect to Achievement motivation level amon g Male &female gender subsequently state board, and central board, also with th e working states of students parents. As to find out deference between the Male Achievement Motivation level may defer s from the Female gender motivation level .I conducted the test in total on 30 0 students. Which include randomly both the gender. On comparing the Achievement Motivation level in two boards such as C.B.S.E & G. S.E.B.I have selected randomly 150 students from each board. The external factor which are in directly affecting the Achievement Motivation l evel of students is their parents working states ,In which the two factor are su ch, whose only one member from their parents are working might be defer from th

e Achievement Motivation level of the students where both the parents working. 3.3 Population All students of C.B.S.E and G.S.E.B English medium secondary school (STD 10t h) of Ahmedabad city are population for the study. 3.4 Sample Stratified Random sampling was used to identify the sample for the study. Two lists of schools were prepared i.e. one of G.S.E.B schools and other of C.B.S.E schools. According to by Garret (1973) “Various techniques have been devised for obtaining a sample which will be representative of its population” Three schools from each board list was selected randomly i.e. 3 schools of C. B.S.E & 3 schools G.S.E.B. Table No.3.1 S. No Name of C.B.S.E. School No of Students 1. Rachana School 50 2. Lotus School 50 3. Kendriya Vidyalaya (Sabarmati) 50 S. No Name of G.S.E.B. School 1. Sabarmati High School (Sabarmati) 50 2. N.R. High School (Low Garden) 50 3. Amrit Jyoti School 50 Total 300 50 students from each school were selected. And three schools were selected from each board (C.B.S.E. & G.S.E.B.). In this way 300 students are taken. 3.5 Method of the Study It is essential to use appropriate method to find out the correct solution of th e problem. Various types of methods are employed for the educational research. According to K.G. Desai “Survey means to derive information about various things from the selection of the study and find main trends from it and to describe to interpret it” In the present study, the survey method was used for the purpose of acquiri ng response from English Medium secondary school students of Ahmedabad city to e valuate their Achievement motivation of the students. 3.6 Tools for the Data collection DEO-MOHAN Achievement Motivation scale (DMAMS) By Prof. Pratibha Deo & Dr. Asha Mohan was administrated to study the level of achievement motivation of school students. 3.7 The Process Data collection Investigator will collected Data personally from the school included in sample 3.8 Method of Data Analysis To analysis the collected data, various statistics techniques were used in the p resent study. The classification of data was done according to the variables, ge nder, parents working status, board (C.B.S.E & G.S.E.B). To decide the level of different Achievement Motivation of secondary students, m ean, SD, SED, t-Test, were calculated. On were done with the help of computer. 3.9 Experiences during the Data collection For the present study, good co-operation was gained from the teachers, principal s and other managing authorities of the school during data collection. The teach ers gave satisfactory responses by giving the time from their busy and fixed sch edule. However I had tried my level best to collect the data in time from all the te achers of secondary schools. Moreover there established a new relationship with

teachers and principals of the schools due to present study. 3.10 Conclusion In the present chapter, the design of the research was discussed .In which origi n of the problem, details regarding sample, population, method ,of research, too ls for the data collection, procedure of data collection, statistical techniques used for analyzing the data and experiences during the data collection were giv en under different captions. The Next chapter is about the classification, analysis and interpretation of the data. This, the calculation of the obtained score, testing hypothesis and its interpretation is carried out.
