Students need reinforcement that supports learning. They need feedback so that they don’t lose enthusiasm. Great teachers know the content and they know their students.

The best instructors really care about helping students learn and equipping them for success. They are passionate about their career field and what they teach; and they believe in and demonstrate excellence and integrity. 

Motivation is key to anyone’s success so using this tool with the techniques presented will encourage students to elevate themselves inside the course. 

Motivating students is important, but isn't necessarily difficult if you're focused on doing your job correctly.  Showing up, being present and active in the classroom, and sharing your excitement for the field is really all you have to do.

I have learned to share my first hand experiences and to remain empathetic and enthusiastic!

I would motivate my students by doing things that they are interested in by obtaining a survey at the beginning of the semester to be sure that I know them well and use that knowledge for better engagement.

This module helped in serving as a reminder that no mater what pedagogy we prescribe to ourselves or to other teachers, what must remain is the human element. Getting frustrated will, of course, happen but we can not allow our frustrations to exert themselves against the students and must understand where it is that they are coming from. Losing our ability to recognize student's as individuals and instead ascribing them to the role of student, will not only prevent their own internal motivations, but will impede your ability to succeed.

Student motivation is integral to their success

Keeping students focused is important. The REFOCUS tool is an excellent tool to identify and get student back on track.

I will provide timely positive feedback in an enthusiastic learning environment. Encourage students that have professional experience. And incorporate semantic and episodic learning experiences.

El entusiasmo y la motivación del instructor actúa como un modelo a seguir por el estudiante, no puedo convencer a mis estudiantes que el aprendizaje es interesante , entretenido y agradable si yo como instructor estoy desmotivado y aburrido de mi praxis docente. Siempre he creído que el fin más importante de nuestras clases es promover y garantizar el aprendizaje, pero si insistimos en concentrarnos en los resultados entonces olvido el proceso de aprender que es realmente lo importante. Por lo tanto no nos podemos concentrar solo en retroalimentar al estudiante solo en aquellas cosas que no logro o que no ha alcanzado, sino hacerle saber como puede lograr el aprendizaje.

This module was effective in teaching how a positive atmosphere is the best way to get students to absorb information like a sponge. There is no room for negativity in a classroom setting.  It can really deflate any progress and the program can get a bad reputation for it as well.

Having the ability to motivate students with your instruction, instructing in a way that is diverse and inclusive to all learners. Providing reinforcement for the students to gain motivation as well. 

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.
