Motivation Strategies - Develop and promote Intrinsic Motivation
- communicate and develop enthusiasm and curiosity for the topic- create disequilibrium which is naturally uncomfortable and motivates the student to search for equilibrium- give opportunities for physical involvement- offer options/alternatives and emphasize students’ choice
- Increase the students’ self-efficacy- give scaffolding and tailored instruction that help them find success
- Ensure that rules and instructions allow students to maintain a sense of self-determination
Motivation Strategies - Encourage students to set specific mastery goals
- younger children will respond better to short term goals, while older children will be more able to think abstractly about the future and plan
long term goals
- Help students meet social needs- fear of failure and intense focus on performance are symptoms of a need to feel valued and appreciated by peers.
- Tell students specific constructive feedback on the cause of success or failure
- put the focus on controllable factors that allow the student to make a difference in their ability to succeed
Motivation Strategies - Teach students about positive attribution
- If the student recognizes that hard work and determination lead to success and a lack of such leads to failure, they will be more likely to work hard and be determined because they trust that their efforts will be rewarded.
- Downplay failures- Use extrinsic reinforcers when necessary
*Always be especially attentive to the needs of students who are academically behind their peers (ex. due to a learning disability or ESL/ELL).
Group Discussion
Situation You have a student who continually hands in assignments late, and has not responded positively to your offer to provide extra help and work through assignments. This student seems inattentive and unengaged in class, and rarely puts their hand up to answer questions, however when called on directly and guided through the question, the student responds correctly. This student has not been identified as having a learning disability, and is a native english speaker.
Discuss which strategies you would use to help motivate this student to improve their performance, and why.
