This study aims to (1) explore teachers strategies in fostering students intrinsic motivation in Social Studies (IPS) learning in elementary schools in Makassar City, and (2) identify the obstacles faced by teachers in increasing students intrinsic motivation. The approach used in this study was qualitative, with a descriptive research design. Data were obtained through classroom observations, interviews with teachers and students, and learning documentation. The results showed that the strategies applied by teachers to foster students intrinsic motivation included contextual learning, problem-based learning (PBL), providing positive feedback, and using technology. However, the teachers faced several obstacles, including limited time, inadequate facilities, and insufficient professional training. This study suggests improving access to technology, providing further training for teachers, and allocating sufficient time to the curriculum to support the implementation of strategies that can increase students intrinsic motivation.

Conclusion

The study concludes that teachers in Makassar City effectively employ strategies like contextual learning, problem-based learning, positive feedback, and technology to enhance students intrinsic motivation in social studies.However, challenges such as time constraints, limited resources, and insufficient training hinder the full implementation of these strategies.Therefore, improving access to resources, providing professional development, and optimizing curriculum time are crucial for fostering a more engaging and motivating learning environment.

Future Research

Further research should investigate the specific types of professional development that best equip teachers with the skills to implement intrinsic motivation-enhancing strategies, particularly in resource-constrained environments. Additionally, studies could explore how to effectively integrate technology into social studies lessons to maximize student engagement and cater to diverse learning styles. Finally, research is needed to examine the long-term impact of fostering intrinsic motivation on students academic performance and civic engagement, considering factors such as socioeconomic background and cultural context. These investigations will contribute to a more nuanced understanding of how to cultivate a lifelong love of learning and prepare students to be active and informed citizens, building upon the findings of this study and addressing the limitations identified regarding time constraints, facility access, and teacher training.
