This study is to examine teacher’s motivation in Christian education. Motivation theory has had a significant impact on education. It is also an important issue in Christian education. For the most part, Christian education has focused on the teacher’s vocation and teaching biblical content. It has paid little attention to how specific reinforcement and motivation theories influence student learning and teachers in the Sunday school classroom. How do we invite all students in an educational setting to participate in biblical learning in the Sunday school classroom? In establishing the basic foundations for education the church asks us, Christian educators, to consider: how do we educate our students? It is a significant question and it calls us to pay attention to the processes and methods that we use to help people learn. However, to answer this question we must approach it with care. This article will synthesize and analyze a large body of literature which should be read and familiarized with by educational leaders. First, this article will review the current understanding of motivation theories. Intrinsic and extrinsic motivation theories will be discussed. Also Abraham Maslow’s hierarchy of needs in human resource organizations will be examined. Next this article will explore two motivational theories for teacher motivation. Finally, it will suggest how Christian education students and teachers can be motivated in the Sunday school classroom. Psychic rewards, empowerment and work enrichment will also be discussed as alternative methods for motivation.

소개
한국에 복음이 들어오고, 교회가 설립된 것은 19세기 말이었다.
해방이 되면서 한국교회는 더욱 발전하게 되었고 그에 따라 기독교교육의 중요성과 필요성도 강조되게 되었다. 그러한 과정에 기독교교육을 전공한 학자들이 귀국함에 따라 그들을 중심으로 한국기독교교육학회를 결성할 필요성을 느껴 설립하게 되었다.
한국기독교교육학회의 설립 목적은 기독교교육학의 이론적 발전과 실천을 위한 연구와 장을 확대해가려는 것이다. 그리고 학자들간의 연구교류와 교제를 위한 장을 마련하기 위하여 본 학회를 1960년에 설립하였다.
