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!)
Material rewards can bring great motivation for students. Growing up I had a teacher that rewarded his students with tickets for sporting events when obtaining perfect scores on tests. This or any other option that requires funds might not be feasible. Looking back now and remembering the crowd size and location of the seats, I'm sure my teacher was given tickets to fill seats that were very unlikely to be sold. Regardless, it was the experience that lasted. Learn who the students are and what moves them would be the way to get a step closer in motivating students. |
