Is it possible to enjoy learning?

This work seeks to identify and discuss the extent to which students are involved, motivated or not, in the knowledge worked on in the classroom, as well as pointing out ways of sensitizing them, awakening a taste for knowledge, and better understanding the factors that permeate the theme of motivation in everyday school life. The issue of students’ lack of interest in the knowledge taught in the school environment is the subject of various discussions in the field of education. Some scholars have linked this problem in learning to a motivational process. To answer this research problem, data was collected using semi-structured interviews with eight ninth-grade students from a local school in the second segment of primary education. The results show that the current school needs to be rethought, as do the teaching objectives and methods, which not only fail to motivate students to learn, but also make lessons uninteresting. However, the study showed that the teachers’ attitudes in the classroom are considered by the students to be ways of teaching and welcoming, and are interpreted by them as a motivating factor, a stimulus for learning.
