Student Motivation Factors

Public

Discussion:

Hi Meredith,
One of the things you can do to get some insight into the intrinsic motivation of students is to have them list their goals for the course. Ask them where they see themselves in five years and what or who is their motivating force for them to be enrolled. Answers to these questions will give you a lot of information that will help you to encourage them along the way as they wear down while dealing with life and going to school.
