One of the roles that a teacher plays in a modern school is that of an organizer and leader of the didactic process. This role consists of two categories of behaviors: on one hand, it includes the teacher’s activities, i.e., teaching, and on the other, it concerns the learning processes of students. In today’s school, which is inseparably linked to reformist-social transformations and scientific-technological changes, the teacher's role as an organizer of didactic activities is undergoing certain transformations. The development of information technology means that students often learn more outside of school. Motivation to learn is one of the key factors determining the effectiveness of the learning and teaching process. It becomes an essential element of the teacher’s role as an organizer and leader of the didactic process. “[...] A teacher should not only ‘convey knowledge’ but, more importantly, awaken students’ interests, shape attitudes (willingness), and develop skills and habits of independent learning, acquiring knowledge, and improving their intellectual culture.” A student's motivation to learn is a determining factor in their academic success, helping them cope with failure, influencing how they use their internal potential, and providing the teacher with insights into the quality and effectiveness of education. In contemporary pedagogical discussions on teacher competencies, the issue of learning motivation emerges as a key component of a student’s active participation in the didactic process. A teacher’s motivational competencies encompass a broad range of tasks related to organizing the learning process, creating favorable learning conditions, and shaping the school's educational environment. They are an integral part of the teacher’s pedagogical toolkit. By carrying out tasks related to motivating students to learn, a teacher expresses their attitude towards students and their engagement in their work. Motivation reflects the teacher’s level of professional qualifications, experience, as well as creative abilities and innovative potential. How can students be effectively motivated to learn? This is one of the fundamental questions every teacher asks themselves.
