Finding out what type of motivators students have in their life helps you to add supporting motivators to their learning and life paths.
We try to provide both extrinsic and intrinsic motivation for our students, we hope this allows them to perform well in their courses.
I am going to inquire what each student's intrinsic and extrinsic motivation is for taking this program. Hopefully I will be able to find methods to support their motivation.
Providing sources of extrinsic and intrinsic motivation for students is key to allowing the class to perform to the best of its ability.
I greatly respect students who mostly have intrinsic motivators to learn anatomy and physiology. Unfortunately, the majority of students learn of because of extrinsic motivators. :)
I will incorporate this in my classroom by letting my students pick their own projects.
