This module illustrated the importance of keeping and maintaining student motivation. Keeping students motivated is integral to their success in their program. Ensuring your expertise on your subject matter, being empathetic to student situations both in the learning environment as well as any outside stressors that may impact their ability to learn successfully is essential. 

The instructor must dell the student on the value of their chosen profession and importance of achieving their goals

Students will require motivation to encourage learning; therefore, as an instructor it is important to reinforce students learning by providing positive feedback.

Involve them, share experiences from the field, be knowledgeable about the subject at hand. keeping them interested will overall keep them interested in the particular trade they want to thrive in. as instructors its our job to influence, motivate, ensure understanding and be thorough enough that they understand, grasp and retain the knowledge learned. 

I love all of the different ways we have to motivate people.  Also really pay attention to how we deliver content - avoiding the pitfalls of "Um" and "You know" that get in the way of instruction.

Student learning is driving by a students motivation which is demonstrated in a variety of ways; self promotion, external pressure, or other reasons. Cater instruction to students by learning their individual motivations and support the student on their learning journey by being engaging and developing a rapport with the student through trust and understanding that you are there to see them succeed.

Motivation and positive feedback without criticism is essential.

Motivational teaching especially in career and technical education takes real world application and experience into the classroom and lab.  With an instructor who is positive and encouraging which develops a rapport the student inherently buys in.

Reinforcement and motivation can help with student success.

Tying in real life experiences with lecture will help students retain information better

It helps to be passionate about the subject matter and connect the info taught with real world situations.

Knowing the subject matter and applying to real life situations for the students is very helpful.

From this module I learned it is easy to motivate students when you care about each individual student and not seeing them as one class, but different people who are in your class for many different reasons. It is our job to motivate and excite them.

Encouragement was one thing that kept me in my program when I wanted to quit. These instructors kept encouraging me not to leave, gave me study tips, and made sure I got my work done. So my experience of encouragement has been both emotionally and physically beneficial for me.

I learned the power of knowledge and preparation, although it is also known as competence, substance, content, or experience.

Great instructors are motivators who know their students and build a rapport with them bringing knowledge to life through instruction and past life experiences.

Being willing to motivate your students which includes reinforcement is very important to enhancing their learning

As the instructor I need to show enthusiasm towards the content I am teaching. Provide positive feedback immediately. know your students.

Creating trust, letting them know that you are here for them, and also knowing that you do not know everything. You can share your experience with the student, regroup and refocus, and make sure not to lose the excitement.

Retention and transference are the two major ways information is stored in long-term memory. This involves the repetitive application of procedures and concepts for working memory.
