Influencing Student Motivation --> Two Main Issues: Security & Autonomy
Post what you've learned about this topic and how you intend to apply it. Feel free to post questions and comments too.
I will use more validating and security centered language when having class discussions. I basically utilize the security tactic because it was what I needed as a student was security and confidence in myself and what I learned.
Autonomy is a little difficult because of the material being covered and time allowed. I kind of plan out the day, but I do let them decide how they get the review (online quizzes, online game, oral questions etc...). I've also let them decide when lecture is (like what hour). Depending on the course, I also let them tell me the order of due dates and we work through that at the start of the course together, which gives them a sense of ownership in their learning.
allowing the adult student some choice in the assignments and lecture planning can increase motivation and set them on a better course for success
With the constant use and need for freedom of will we as people will always need autonomy and security , this give the student the chance to add themselves and their style of learning into their curriculum if they use it a knowledge , but like anything with power comes great responsibility as they always say and it can open up doors for harm to a degree with security and so much more as well if not handled with care , especially in this day and age
I already apply these things to my classroom. I never really knew the terminology of what they were called until this module but always allowed students to make choices on what we wanted to accomplish in the day in what order.
The idea of allowing students to dictate some order to tests, quizzes, and lectures gives them autonomy. about The way they learn gives confidence that they control the outcome of their success.
Keeping students motivated in the classroom is important by encouraging their autonomy and security.
The first day of class should be exciting. This keeps students wanting to come back
A instructor's enthusiasm for their subject matter can be infectious; that's the goal! Exhibit why you care about what you are teaching in a manner that draws in your pupils!
This has been a very enlightening module about adult learners. I will begin to integrate some of the suggestions to address the students' security and autonomy.
Instuctor's command over the lesson content leads to student confidence in the material and security of knowing they can succeed when evaluated.
Autonomy and security affect adult learners in their ability to feel confident and to succeed. to ensure their success means to allow students to exercise greater autonomy over their work and allow them to feel a sense of security in their work.
I learned security and autonomy are great tools in helping to motivate students and adult learners. Keeping the class fun and exciting keeps the students engaged and motivated to keep learning and pushing forward.
Students stay motivated when instructors validate their knowledge and allow them to express their understanding. The student feels secure in their environment to explore their understanding in the classroom.
Security comes from clear expectations, consistent support, and knowing that the instructor wants them to succeed, which reduces anxiety and builds trust. Autonomy allows students to take ownership of their learning by participating in hands-on activities, problem solving, and decision making. When instructors balance structure with opportunities for independence, students tend to stay more engaged and committed to completing the program.
How to make class exciting to keep the students engaged
i feel motivation is key when it comes to keeping students engaged
Security and autonomy are great tools in helping to motivate adult learners. Constructive feedback should not be taken personal, but as a tool to assist with improving the classroom management and to increase student engagement.
giving the students control is a method for retaining information i enjoyed this module and I'm looking forward to applying this method to my classes
The importance of recognizing that security and autonomy are tools to help you and your students succeed.
