allowing students to choose which assignment or suggest which assignment helps them learn the most can influence their motivation.
I appreacited the discussion of autonomy - it can be a win win for both student and instructor when applied properly in the classroom.
try to focus on the positive rather than the negetive. It is a good thing to look at feed back early in the learnign process
Give choices that will benefit both student and learning environment
Availibility for questioning is key to student learning.
This video presentation provided valuable information that I use with my students. Not everything is applicable, i.e., allowing students to choose which assignment to complete and which method they can complete it.
Students that feel secure are motivated to learn. Educators can enhance a students security by being available for questions and explanations of didactic and demonstrative curriculum. Positive feedback, encourgement, and coaching can increase automony.
Being supportive is key. Adults needs security and autonomy, this relates strongly to motivation.
I did not realize the influence of security and autonomy was an issue. At first when I saw the word security, I was thinking the safety of the classroom. Upon completing the course, I realized that it was the student belief about ability to perform task. Also, I realized the importance of students input not only in assignments or activities in the course but also student's input in evaluations.
I oftn think of what motivates students and remind them to remember what motivated them to come to school in the first place to get the unmotivated back on track.
Students who are insecure and feel that they have no control over the educational process will not be motivated. We must do whatever we can to facilitate the security and autonomy of ALL of our students!
This is a awesome module. It has given me great ideas of things to incorporate in the clinical setting.
Always be supportive of student's responses
I liked how it gave different ideas to assist instruction in allowing both security and autonomy. I know as being an adult learner in the past, it was most important that I felt like I was in an environment whereas I felt I would not be judged or ridiculed and that I had some of the power over my wwn education. These are important concepts when dealing with the adult learner to maintain that balance in the classroom.
Although as a teacher you should go into each class prepared with a plan and time table, if possible, let students have some say in the order in which you complete task. Ask students their opionon on how/when they would like to complete task so they feel their opinon on thier education is taken seriously and that they have some say over their education. I will be incorroporating this concept into my future lessons.
Giving students some choice has many benefits to it for their motivation and providing support so they feel more confident and able, will yield better course results from the individuals as well as the class as a whole.
I already use frequent surveys for students to voice their choices and opinions. I not plan to add some dimensions to the surveys. I will ask about hobbies and how they did in other classes. I will also give students weekly reports on their progress. Finally, I wil offer more choices in assignments and class structure.
supportive and positive responses when reacting to a student's response
excellent review on how to provide opportunities for students to feel secure and autonomous in the classroom setting
Always give positive feed back to students responses.
