Abstract: The subject of this work is empirical research of students motivational structure with regards to geography lessons in primary and secondary schools. Thus we looked at the motivation of the students at primary and secondary schools in Novi Sad. The aim of the research is to establish the form of motivation which has the optimal effect on students further work and studying of geography. This aspect of research is specified by three realised tasks: research of motivation for geography in primary school students (1), rank the motifs according to importance for secondary school students (2), explanation (comprising results of both samples) of motivational work and study geography better. Generally, the results of the research confirm the established hypothesis that a group of elements defined as external motivation have significantly greater influence on studying geography than the internal motivation which is a more desired one.

Keywords: motivation, motif, geography lessons, empirical research, comparative analysis.
