Students learn from rationales that are given to them in their feedback. Encourage the student to research their incorrect information.
To motivate students make sure to have a supportive environment for the students for intrinsic motivation.
The key point I learned is that I have to be motivated as an instructor and should be curious as well as willing to learn new things in order to be a great motivator for students. In addition, its very important for me to focus on the intrinsic and extrinsic motivational factors.
I've learned that as an educator, you are most than just an educator but also a motivator. We should also analyze our students if they are more intrinsically motivated or extrinsically motivated, therefore, we can use that fact to an advantage on how to better motivate our students in achieving their end goal. I also believe that we serve as a motivational backbone to our students, if we show them that we believe they can reach their goal, so will they.
To teach one most understand the importance of a student's extrinsic and intrinsic motivation to ultimately reach a student's goal.
Personal motivation is more effective than external motivational factors.
Leaders must tap into the "why" behind initiatives and help teachers keep this focus at the forefront of their practice.
When people are intrinsically motivated, providing extrinsic motivators have a negative effect.
I have learned to continue to motivate our students with the concept in mind, that we are serving Human Beings when we are done with school.
I think this has been one of the most meaningful topics for me. Motivating others is a powerful way to increase productivity in students and employees. Providing autonomy creates an opportunity for a sense of ownership as long as there is a directive that states a general end goal. Giving individuals tasks that they can do with confidence, but with some challenge, provides the opportunity for intrinsic motivation through mastery. Having an intimate connection between what the student or employee is doing and knowing how it matters provides purpose in meaning which can create an inner drive and contribute to a highly motivated team.
I've learned that with motivating other we need Autonomy, mastery and purpose is key.
Motivation is the key for the students also the instructors.
I learned that I need to dig deeper and find the intrinsic motivation of my students. I think that this will help them with understand how what they are doing in our classroom or at the clinical sights actually matters.
I have learned that by reminding students of their purpose, it will help to motivate them.
This is great info, I believe our faculty are motivated intrinsicly. I find satisfaction seeing my students succeed.

Motivation is the key to making the students become aware of their end goal.
As an audio and music professional self-motivation is paramount and this course is great because it points the spotlight back to the student's own hopes and dreams as the promise of success. Many times things in our field take many attempts to get right and you get used to it, but in the classroom, students are often reminded to consider what they are even trying to get out of this to help better serve them serving themselves.
Autonomy - I am losing my motivation in the work place because my manager is not allowing me to be autonomous. I will use what I just learned to help communicate with my manager my emotions and feelings.
