Interest and learning motivation are two essential factors that determine the success of the educational process. Learning interest fosters curiosity and encourages students to actively participate in academic activities, while motivation serves as both an internal and external driving force that inspires them to achieve their learning goals. This article explores the significance of these two elements in shaping students’ learning behavior and discusses the role of teachers in cultivating them through creative, contextual, and student-centered approaches. By creating an engaging and supportive learning environment that values individual differences, students are expected to develop higher enthusiasm for learning and achieve optimal academic outcomes.
