Effective learning in the classroom depends on the teacher's ability… to maintain the interest that brought students to the course in the first place.

Literature Review
HESP Summer School 2006
General Strategies
• Capitalize on students' existing needs • Make students active participants in
learning • Ask students to analyze what makes
their classes more or less "motivating"
HESP Summer School 2006
Incorporating Instructional Behaviours that Motivate Students
1. Hold high but realistic expectations for your students.
2. Help students set achievable goals for themselves. 3. Tell students what they need to do to succeed in
your course. 4. Strengthen students' self-motivation. 5. Avoid creating intense competition among
students. 6. Be enthusiastic about your subject.

Basic Human Capital Model (experiment)
There are two types of learning:
B 20 / 80 20
A 50 / 50 13
Type Grade Ratio (50/100) Cost
HESP Summer School 2006
Basic Human Capital Model (experiment)• Assumption 1. During all year in the university a student
can choice one of the two ways. Taking into account intellectual and physical abilities of each student, to them is accessible any from these ways:– ineffective learning (A)– effective learning (B)
Working effectively, a student carries costs in size of 20 m.u. for all the learning time, during unproductive work – only 13 m.u.
• Assumption 2. His or her future wages is the basic factor of student’s teaching efficiency at present.
HESP Summer School 2006
Main QuestionWhat wages for graduating students must be at the
receipt them on work after finishing of university, that during teaching their work was effective and
corresponded to the way B or was ineffective and corresponded to the way A?
HESP Summer School 2006
Basic Human Capital Model (questionnaire)
Each of the questioned students must write down two numbers:
– W50 – wages in the future, at which in the present during teaching they will show a low result B.
– W100 – wages in the future, at which they will demonstrate a high result A.
HESP Summer School 2006
Basic Human Capital Model (results)
• Nobody of students is going to be outlaid on teaching more than amount of the expected wages which each of them wrote down and chose independently.
• But half of students consider that for further work they need to adjust only minimum efforts A, although here they will lose in the future wages.

Incentives Structure
There are 4 basic kinds of principal students incentives:– Monetary incentives– Research incentives– Recognition incentives– Teaching incentives
HESP Summer School 2006
Incentives Structure (experiment)
• Formulate main question• Formulate questionnaire• Analyze results
HESP Summer School 2006
Main Question
Are there similarity between the preferred incentives of students
and students perceptions of actual incentive structure?
HESP Summer School 2006
Questionnaire
1. Estimate your study effort in scale 0-100 2. Is scholarship an incentive for you? 3. Is name scholarship an incentive for you? 4. Is public acknowledgement an incentive for you? 5. Is a possibility of your scientific research in University an incentive
for you?6. Is teacher’s interest in his/her course significant for you?7. Do you agree teacher has to think not only the course content, but
also the form of material? 8. Do you want to work in accordance with speciality? 9. Are you ready to collaborate with University after graduating? 10. Your average grade
