motivation is a key factor in student success
It motivates students when they can see that the instructor is as excited about the subject and demonstrates knowledge. This encourages the student to want the same outcomes.
I learned that providing motivation is essential to student success and having a solid knowledge base of the material creates credibility
Don't only be your students instructor. Support them by understanding their situations and making sure they understand that you want the best for them.
Reinforcement ,definitely helps with retention, use of acronyms & acrostics helps with retention also motivates the students.
Motivating your students and being supportive of them helps with their success. Know your subject and your students.
I learned important ways to keep students motivated are reinforcement of material through grades, rewards and praise, retention of material and transference of that material into real world experiences so that they can link the learning to long-term memory.
This module is very important to the learning process of our students. It is human nature to need to be motivated and reinforcement. We never know what our students may be dealing with in their outside lives and finding the appropriate balance can sometime be challenging.
The importance of motivation your students and showing your dedication to them
Definitely students will perform better if we can help them be passionate about the subject material. Knowing them and how to tie material to their lives can help with that
Expertise, empathy, enthusiasm and clarity are the four major pillars. great session
Interesting concept that students are more motivated by higher point scales. Consider making assignment out of 100 rather than 10. Crucial to remember that timely feedback is important to enhance learning. Grading something 3 weeks late will not have the same value as returning a graded assignment the next class, and can raise student anxiety.
This course refreshed many things I had learnt earlier.
Most important point I learnt today is the importance of immediate feedback.
the methods of showing students you respond to their efforts to engage with peers include, keeping eye contact, standing by students, arranging the students in a circle
I learned enthusiasm and feedback should to be tailored to suit the needs of each learner in order to be most effective. Try to avoid generic or whole class feedback and encouragement but rather be specific so students feel valued and motivated.
Motivating students is important to success within the course.
Finding ways to keep your students motivated is very important. Also make sure it doesn't become too long winded by adding a little humor in between so students don't become bored and not interested.
I love that someone said it is important for instructor and student to remember their "why". This will keep both motivated.
Being the subject matter expert is a plus (however remember there could be a student in your class that has more expertise than you), allowing your students to know you are human and also make mistakes. The key to making any mistake is not only owning that mistake but also learning from it. Finding the ways to engage your class which may be different from class to class.
Learn who your students are and what motivates them. Create a class environment that gives them the freedom to speak on their experiences.
