  Abstract:  Educationalists and researchers are emphasized that in the last decades debates are focused on the increasing acknowledgment of the central role of motivation processes in the success of pupils in learning and other adaptation processes such as: feelings towards the teacher and the school, disturbance in the classroom, coping with difficulty, failure and success (Harpaz, Y, and Carmon. A. (2001). According to our need and target research, the debate here is starting from he question: What is the appropriate motivation orientation on which to construct a solid base for the increasing of learning efficiency in the school? The theoretical bases for the field application are given from a variety of motivation theories: Skinner’s reinforcement theory; Need-gratification theory; Cognitive theories; Self-determination theory etc. The seventh grade students filled a questionnaire, which show an evidence lack of belonging of he students to the class and the school. In accordance with he findings we began to implement an intervention program specifically geared to the education lessons.
