Knowing the subject matter and applying to real life situations for the students is very helpful.
It helps to be passionate about the subject matter and connect the info taught with real world situations.
Tying in real life experiences with lecture will help students retain information better
Reinforcement and motivation can help with student success.
Motivational teaching especially in career and technical education takes real world application and experience into the classroom and lab. With an instructor who is positive and encouraging which develops a rapport the student inherently buys in.
Motivation and positive feedback without criticism is essential.
Student learning is driving by a students motivation which is demonstrated in a variety of ways; self promotion, external pressure, or other reasons. Cater instruction to students by learning their individual motivations and support the student on their learning journey by being engaging and developing a rapport with the student through trust and understanding that you are there to see them succeed.
I love all of the different ways we have to motivate people. Also really pay attention to how we deliver content - avoiding the pitfalls of "Um" and "You know" that get in the way of instruction.
Involve them, share experiences from the field, be knowledgeable about the subject at hand. keeping them interested will overall keep them interested in the particular trade they want to thrive in. as instructors its our job to influence, motivate, ensure understanding and be thorough enough that they understand, grasp and retain the knowledge learned.
Students will require motivation to encourage learning; therefore, as an instructor it is important to reinforce students learning by providing positive feedback.
The instructor must dell the student on the value of their chosen profession and importance of achieving their goals
This module illustrated the importance of keeping and maintaining student motivation. Keeping students motivated is integral to their success in their program. Ensuring your expertise on your subject matter, being empathetic to student situations both in the learning environment as well as any outside stressors that may impact their ability to learn successfully is essential.
Instructors should be motivators. Offering your expertise is a huge motivator for students. This models behavior and the Instructor is looked at as a skilled professional in the career area.
One of the biggest reasons why students drop out- is because of all the time and resources they are expected to commit on school. Students find that they just dont have the time to get everything in their lives done.
I enjoyed learning about the importance of providing motivation for students.
I found the information about semantic and episodic memory interesting. Something I will keep in mind is to form a connection between what is taught and student experience to help with long-term retention of what is learned.
I tend to motivate my students with the see one, do one, teach one method.
This module showed me the importance of Positive feedback to keep the students motivated to continue to retain the information that they are learning. Students must be able to see the meaning or purpose for the information, and they must also understand and have the capability to apply the information.
From this module, I've learned how to use the student's motivation as a learning tool.
Research has shown that there are four cornerstones of instruction that can be used by instructors to motivate and inspire their students. These are expertise, empathy, enthusiasm, and clarity.
