Influencing Student Motivation --> Two Main Issues: Security & Autonomy
Post what you've learned about this topic and how you intend to apply it. Feel free to post questions and comments too.
I have learned that every small improvement matter.
In this module I've learned that active learning strategies keep students motivated and engaged and encourages more and active participation in the class, resulting in more retention of information and active use of said information.
First and foremost keeping students engaged.
I have learned to allow student choice when possible (although it can be tough). I have also learned to incorporate active learning strategies into my courses because adult students do not want to just listen.
Keeping students engaged is very important and will help them to be motivated and interested in the classes
Security and autonomy go hand in hand. Security builds confidence, while autonomy allow you to feel personally invested in the learning process. This balance enhances learning and ultimately leads to higher engagement and achievement from the student.
Thanks,I have learned some very valuable teaching methods.
Motivation for students is often critical and their security and autonomy represents how motivated they will remain.
When learners have autonomy, the learner is engaged in the process.
great content, knowledge share
Trust is the major key in building a relationship with your students.
Continence is key. For the student and the teacher. Confidence breeds security and a willingness to be proactive in class (i.e. autonomy).
Students' interest or excitement needs to be sparked from the start of the course. If students are apathetic, their engagement will be minimal and not a student-centered environment. It is mutually beneficial for students and faculty to be engaged.
So far this training has reinforced how important it’s to set the stage for learning. Some ways mentioned is to write the daily objective on the board for the lesson which is what I do daily as well as making sure students feel secure about what they are being asked to do.
Very good strategy about adult learning. Doing verses reading.
As an instructor/teacher it is always important to stay motivated and to also share that excitement with the students
I have learned together, security and autonomy enhance motivation by addressing both emotional and cognitive needs. Security reduces anxiety and builds confidence, while autonomy increases relevance and personal investment. In practice, this might look like a teacher establishing clear goals and expectations (security), then allowing students to choose how they meet those goals (autonomy). This balance encourages persistence, creativity, and a stronger connection to learning, ultimately leading to higher engagement and achievement.
