One of the main goals of the work of teachers is to increase and maintain the motivation of pupils to learn. However, many studies have confirmed that traditional teaching, without problems that activate students and with the use of only the teacher's interpretation of the topic, does not increase, or even reduce motivation. Pupils behave…
