الملخص

      Since decades and noticeably, developing teaching-learning ways has been highly taken into consideration by a great deal of teachers, researchers, writers, students and others. There is no doubt that lecturing teaching method has become very old and extremely boring, particularly for learners. Thus, teachers and specialists in this field are working hard to reach information to their students in interesting, good and appropriate ways, far from obstacles or barriers that deter students from learning and enriching their knowledge in different fields. This research I called “Challenge Way of Teaching” which is included or closely related to motivating teaching methods. I think it is a new perspective (or at least, not applied very commonly) in teaching and learning students, and I think it will enrich the field mentioned with new ideas that can contribute to develop teachers’ method in teaching and also, developing students’ ideology in gaining knowledge in the same time. I think that all I have done successfully, in this study, was after trusting in The Almighty Allah. In the past, motivation was thought to be related to short-term, limited contexts and specific situations, but today this belief has evolved far more than that. More specifically, this principle conceded that although there are a number of relatively stable motivational tendencies and beliefs that can differentiate one person from another (like the degree of readiness and preparing for an exam in the midst of great psychological pressure), motivation can vary greatly depending on the type of expected reactions that might trigger before, during and after one is going to do something. So, there should be long-range strategies as far as using motivation is concerned, one of them includes instilling a kind of fighting spirit in the student’s mind (challenge) and enhancing his/her great self-confidence in his/her performance by challenging the difficulties and adapting themselves to overcome them whatever these difficulties or obstacles are. I don’t say that I have covered all what teachers and students need in teaching and learning, but I can confidently say that I have handled a theoretical perspective, relatively, not highly taken into account by both very many teachers and students. Undeniably, when one executes a great success in this life, he/she will feel of pride, and has self-confidence with a sort of self- complacency. Moreover, when one remembers his/her past successes in life, this will also facilitate the missions to reach all future needs and ambitions that everyone hopes to obtain. Ultimately, I hope this study will be well received and accepted by the specialists in this regard.
