Showing enthusiasm, passion, and understanding of content is a must. I plan to use this to engage students and develop relationships that build trust.
In this module I learned a lot about motivation and reinforcing students based on their individual needs.
I learned in this module that it is important to motivate and inspire your students,, lead them by example in a sense so they kind of see that you know what you're talking about and keep your head on straight so you don't come off as someone who knows everything because there will come a time when the student may show you something as well.
Showing genuine concern and interest for students to learn and apply in real world situation as professional that shows care and kindness to their patients/ clients
Showing excitement and enthusiasm towards the subject you are teaching will help students stay motivated and retain information better.
I will use stories from my experiences to motivate my students. Let them know that i have been where they are and made it in the field.
I learned that showing that you are enthusiastic and care about what you are teaching, it affects the students in a positive way because once they see how much you care about the subject or lesson, they're more likely to engage.
Keep your students engaged and motivated. Be the one to get excited about the learning material and the field they are entering.
I learned the 4 cornerstones of instruction that can be used by instructors to motivate and inspire their students: these are empathy, expertise, enthusiasm, and clarity
Bringing enthusiasm into the classroom can be very motivating and positive
Using reinforcement, retention, and transference techniques is the best way to be a motivating instructor.
Importance of motivated instructor
One of the things that stuck out to me when teaching was motivating the students by keeping them well informed about their progress. That way they know how well they are doing and well be excited about learning and progressing.
Providing expertise and real world/personal scenarios can help my students stay engaged, and also creating opportunities for feedback and chances for students to relate to the same information. Encouragement and feedback can be super important to keep students engaged and I hope I'm able to provide that as an instructor.
I motivate my students by quickly grading work and providing feedback.
