I've learned that by giving positive feedback is motivational to students and as an instructor is important to keep the four cornerstones of instruction like; expertise, empathy, and clarity in front of your mind for your student's success.
finding ways to engage my students with my work experience and present the information in an attainable manner that keeps them interested and motivated.
ive learned how to teach students the knowledge in order to utilize in real situations .
As the instructor, ensuring you are presenting the content in a relatable fashion and then having them practice with tactile exercises the students will become motivated themselves by applying their new knowledge and experiencing the Ah Ha moment.
Taken for the harvard video presenters there are five factors that will help make you a more effective and clear communicator with your students.
- Know the subject
- Know the student. Take a look at the profile of each student and learn about their background and what motivates them (this must be done on the first day!)
- Set the expectation. This is achieved by engaging the students and knowing who can answer some key questions during classroom sessions.
- You MUST create an environment where people can take risks. DO NOT humiliate your student. It will come back ten-fold because they're not interested in learning; They're interested in survival. So, be aware of your style because that might intimidate or humiliate people so that they don't want to take risks.
- Great teachers transcend the message; they're bold and clear and approachable.
Comment on Arthur Butler's post: I hope you don't plan to entertain them because that's not an instructors job.
Focus on motivating students and giving them immediate feedback.
I have to keep the students interested and motivated
Focusing on motivating the students to succeed is just as important as expressing excitement for the field.
To engage students in the learning process, I must offer daily feedback, praise their efforts, and acknowledge when they’ve done a great job. It's important to provide clear expectations so students understand what’s required of them. I've also realized that, beyond being an educator, I serve as a support system for my students.
retention is application and motivation brings success
Have fun with your students and remember how you learned the material
Student motivation an be encouraged by including the students with decission making. Reconizing even the smallest accomplishments motivates the students to do better.
I like to encourage my students to push their selves there is no I can't, yes you can, you can do anything as long as you put your mind to it.
I learned the importance of knowing your students and the role of positive reinformcement. That students must retain information from your class in order to benefit from the learning. The difference between sematic memory and espisodic memory and how it influences learning.
Motivation in the classroom is important to provide dynamic and understandable learning for students, and the use of tools during the teaching process helps us achieve our objectives in a more didactic way and will impact their professional success.
This module has taught me that motivating students requires maintaining their interest, showing them the relevance of the content being shown in class (linking the content to real-life situations in their field), and helping boost their confidence.
Using positive reinforcement is a great way to keep students motivated and engaged. Never call out and embarrass a student, because then they will enter survival mode and not learning mode.
Having a good rapport with students will help motivate them.
I have learned that by building strong relationships with my students I can help better motivate them to progress in the class.
