I have learn that my students made need to be reminded of their purpose or their why over time. There has to be more than just a good grade to motivate them although that might be good for some.
I try hard to motivate my students both with the knowledge they have learned but also that life isn't just a job to go to, they are learning a career.
I may be unpopular in this comment, but we really need to examine a student's aptitude and ability to succeed in an accelerated program. Motivation is very needed, but if a person does not exhibit the required mental ability to gain knowledge quickly and accurately, we are doing them a disservice when pushing them through a stress. These students may be successful, through extended time and added remediation. However, this pace does not allow for that needed input.
I now have some tools to motivate my students, and guide them I want to foster intrinsic behaviors and allow autonomy
I have a better understanding between the two and have the desire to motivate my students with a better outcome and rewards.
I have learned how to encourage others through extrinsic and intrinsic motivations. To use these skills to help motivate my students better and myself.
I plan to reflect on my teaching and remember to often consider my why and purpose and how that connects to the goals of the college. This will ultimately lead to more student success. When teachers are empowered and feel motivated, students benefit.
I learned that motivating others by sharing your experiences. Personally, I feel that it is difficult for instructors to motivate students if they do not personally have vision. It is very transparent when we see instructors who are burned out and don't expand their student's vision through motivation.
I have always known that rewards such as monetary and other tangible items are not effective in sustaining motivation. It is amazing to finally point out that autonomy, mastery and purpose and meaning are sure ways in developing motivation. I can apply this not only with my students but in life in general. Thank you.
I have learned there are multiple principles behind why someone is motivated to do something. I need to ensure that I am motivating my students in order to help keep them engaged and learning.
I have learnt to interact and connect with my students at a personal level to encourage them\.
The course teaches us that we must tap into the student to find the intrinsci motivation. Each stsudent will bring a different set of experiences, by getting to know the students we can tap into what wil;l motivate. If we can understan the why, we can always get to the how and the what. To help students find purpose is to help them find the right career. The right career will lead to them having more autonomy in their lives.
Intrinsic motivation is founded on autonomy, mastery, and purpose.
Extrinsic motivation may lead to hedonistic adaptation (but it all depends on the person and the person's circumstance).
I appreciate the idea of "improvement is the goal in and of itself".
Instrinct motivation does greater and longer inpact to ones behaviour than stick and carrot.
giving students confidence boosts whenever they are doing good and accomplishing the tasks to keep interest and give them the desire to keep striving to do good
Make goals obtainable. We need to encourage our staff and/or students through extrinsic and intrinsic motivations.
Education is not pure learning book by book. Flow plays an important role, enjoyment and focus will lead to better improvement and learning capabilities and motivation.
What stands out for me is that I must find creative ways to allow my learners to be a part of their own goal forming and strategy to get them there. Autonomy and Mastery are the key motivators that can continue to provide meaningful reward when more basic needs have been met or are found to have diminishing impact. Giving the course goals and providing the information for learners to reach them might be enough. Of course, my experience indicates that each learner will require a different amount of "reminding," given that the semester has outside time constraints and each has their own unique set of distractors alonh their path.
I have learned the importance of how to encourage others through extrinsic and intrinsic motivations and how it contributes to the successful outcome of student education
