Abstract: This paper reports research that investigated how a teacher motivated his students in a mathematic class. It addresses the work in the field of affect in mathematics education using various frameworks borrowed from educational psychology including Attribution Theory and Self-Determination Theory. The analysis of student motivation levels based on the intrinsic and extrinsic continuum of the Self-Determination Theory in this study will provide some frameworks that teacher could implement to influence student motivation.
