I learned that motivation is closely tied to relevance, connection, and encouragement. Students are more likely to stay engaged when they understand how the material supports their personal or career goals and when they feel valued by their instructor. I plan to apply this by creating learning experiences that connect course content to real-world applications, recognizing small wins, and maintaining consistent positive reinforcement to keep students inspired and focused.
Malcom Knowles made me realize that different ages and learning styles will vary. I much cater to language barriers and ages to really reach my students.
Motivate and provide support to each student, not just as a whole.
Be a Mentor by showing genuine interest in their goals and struggles. Offer guidance on resumes, interviews, and networking in aviation.
Students do react to the interest that teachers show in them. We can all agree on that. In the online community, that is a challenge in that the face-to-face or real person challenge must be overcome. Communication, of course, is key, and platforms like "Zoom" help. There is still the "believer" piece, which can be achieved by the teacher's incessant written communications with students, whether they are excelling or need help.
Making learning more fun is beneficial to the student and the teacher.
Make learning fun
Prepare for the class
BE passionate about teaching and the subject matter to keep students engaged.
coming from training one on one in a shop, its easier to learn who a person is, what they like, what sets them off and work around and through those issues is sometimes challenging, and a lot of the strategies in this section are new, and some i have already been using, to implement them in a larger group should be interesting and i look forward to growing as an instructor and will take any strategies i can to help move me forward.
I have learned to positively motivate through every lesson. Make sure the students are included in learning.
Make learning fun and exciting, helping them include their own experience.
Create an atmosphere where students will be able to connect their life experiences to what is learnt in the classroom. Make them feel free to take risks, make mistakes in class and help them by correcting them in a caring way. Do not embarrass them for any reason but let them feel appreciated for their efforts
As a semi new instructor, I have learned that showing passion for what is being taught keeps them interested longer in each subject.
I have learned that the reinforcement is the important part of the teaching process.
Great teachers inspire learning and use a variety of strategies to ensure students retain and apply their learning in different contexts.
Get to know your students and be excited about your content
It is very important to be prepared and to know your students.
Dont scare or intimidate students being demanding.Teach with enthusiasm and vigor.
It's important to prepare for classes and show enthusiasm for the subject that we're teaching so that students ar emore enganged
Creating and maintaining a learning environment when there are so many distractions will be a challenge but by helping students stay motivated, keeping course material relevant, and being dedicated to sharing knowledge will be vital in overcoming barriers to learning and fear of not making their goals.
