Motivating the students by ensuring that they are well supported. Evaluating them within the scope of their comprehension and positive feedback on areas of their strength.
In this course I learned the importance of motivating students and keeping them motivated while also being understanding of life events. I intend to utilize the lessons in the course to help further students learning by keeping them motivated and being prepared for the class.
Motivation is brought by both parties. With the instructor it has to be with the lectures, the information given to the student, the materials practiced, demonstrated, as well as the experiences. With the student, it has to be brought out. Make it exciting for them to want to come to class, be empathetic and understanding that we are all human and we have a life outside of school/work also. Be flexible, but motivate!
Reinforcement is important between teachers and students because it can help increase desired behaviors and improve learning outcomes and a good instructor knows their content.
Motivating students to learn can be enhanced by sharing why you care about the subject matter and its relevancy in "real-life". This also lends to a strengthened relationship with your students.
A good teacher knows the content, a great teacher knows the students. Students need motivated and it is important for the teacher to know what motivates the students. Positive feedback, encouragement, praise and establishing a rapport with the students will motivate them to do better; to do more.
Motivation is key for the success of our instructors and our students.
It is critical to motivate students and show enthusiasm in the classroom. Be open and empathetic and do not intimidate or shame students. Give them a positive reason to want to be there and learn.
I love motivating my students to continue their education.
I learned how detrimental it is to embarrass a student. That survival instinct kicking in is a real thing after an instructor embarrasses a person. I may be speaking from personal experiences LOL.
Comment on Tikeama Buckingham's post: I agree that it is important to be enthusiastic when teaching. Also, providing practical examples that are relatable. It is also necessary to provide feedback on tests and assignments as soon as possible.
I learned about motivating the student by getting to know them and what motivates them. Also what to do in instances where you don't have all the answers!
always be prepared, enthusiastic and caring to all your student.
Motivating students includes getting to know your students and their reasons for taking on debt and risk to be in school. Helping to remind people why they started the journey can get them through difficult courses. Being a subject expert and being fair and supportive allows students to take risks that lead to success that improves motivation.
learned it takes 30 days or 45 times of repetition for something to be moved into memory when learning
Motivating students is a key to their success. Everyone wants to see a reward for their efforts, whether that is thru verbal/written means such as grades, physical rewards such as trophies, awards, etc., or purely psychological rewards (these students tend to be the self motivated overachievers that want to have perfect attendance/perfect grades in my experience). If you aren't leading their motivation thru these means they will swiftly lose interest. Our enthusiasm is contagious.
To show that I can really make a difference in the way they care. By showing them how to accomplish this by itself, and then leading them on the right path toward doing this themselves.
Realizing that there many factors involved in retention and application helps me to use the tools from this course to reach that goal.
Create an environment where the students can take risk but do not humiliates a student. How I perceive humiliation might be different how the student would experience it especially when being challenged to take risk. Be encouraging without creating humiliation.
After going through this module, I feel reaffirmed that creating a personal connection with the students (specifically, practicing empathy) is best practice within this field.
