Case: Student Motivation
I teach foreign language and for two of my three courses there is no final required at the end of the year and no Student Learning Objective. Students know that all they have to do to complete the class, is pass. Students will therefore take their grade of a C, even when given the opportunity to improve it, and move on. What can I do to increase the student's intrinsic motivation? How can I encourage them to try harder- to push for an A or B instead of a C?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Offer some sort of incentive program offering free grades, homework excuses, cell phone time. There are many ideas online that enforce positive behavior in class, but instead twist them to make it for grade level. Offer something that the students would really be interested in at the end of the course - possibly a field trip learning culture about the language being taught. |

| Comments: I think a field-trip is a really good way to go. Almost all students love field-trips because they are fun, and the student gets a break from class and away from school. It might really motivate the students and they might care a lot more if they could see things first hand. |

| Comments: I don't think a teacher should be giving away chances for excuses for students. All the students should still be required to do all of their work and instead be offered a reward that won't allow them to skip out on work. |
