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!)
I think a good way to get students to do better and want to gain the B or A instead of being happy with a C is make the class more fun. Make it so they want to participate and try their best. Incorporate different activities that really make them learn the language. I took ASL in high school and the only way we could talk in class is if we signed ASL and that worked! We all wanted to talk but couldn't unless we know what the sign was. |
