Abstract– The aim of this article is to study the obstacles to motivation, its role in the learning process, the difficulties encountered with this concept, both by teachers and by students, and finally to propose solutions to these difficulties to optimize the development of motivation in students. Academic success is linked to a prior and necessary motivation allowing perseverance and the maintenance of positive attitudes to allow the student to achieve self-actualization, as well as the achievement of previously set goals. This process is highly desirable for the good process of teaching and learning in the school environment. Several studies have been carried out to improve the level of education and defuse the issue of demotivation in students. This is what motivated this contribution, which aims to demonstrate, the main factors that can cause the lack of motivation for students and highlight the challenges to the good process of the course and the acquisition of new knowledge.

Keywords– Motivation, student learning, academic success, Teaching practice.
