The recommendations emphasized the practices of learning by observation and learning from models, as the student's observation of the teacher and his colleagues affects the building and stimulating of learning motivation, especially in the context of classrooms; and in response to the results of the current research, educational psychology still needs more research that provides useful experiential knowledge in answering the question of how human motivations are formed and stimulated in learners?
