Abstract

The article talks about inspiration, different approaches and interpretations of scientists on the one hand, and on the other hand, it refers to the role of the teacher and how a teacher, using inspiration as a method, can influence students' learning motivation. Studies have shown that the teacher is important to the learning process.

This paper discusses the characteristics of teachers and how they must be well trained, focus on and monitor the educational process, be dedicated and responsive, build positive relationships with students, and create a safe classroom environment to maintain students’ long-term achievement.

The work is interesting and contains novelty because these two topics - inspiration and the role of the teacher - have been discussed a lot by different sciences. Still, for the first time, an attempt is made to scientifically connect these two important links and prove through research that the correct use of inspiration in the educational process can lead to unprecedented results: increased learning motivation and the effectiveness of the learning process. This article will try to substantiate our assumptions theoretically and present the research results in future works.
