Motivating Your Students: Reflection and Application
From this module, I've learned about the significant impact that student motivation has on engagement, retention, and overall learning success. One key takeaway is the importance of connecting course material to real-life applications, as it helps students see the value in what they are learning and fosters intrinsic motivation. Additionally, incorporating active learning strategies and acknowledging individual achievements can create a more positive and encouraging environment.
In practice, I plan to introduce more case studies and examples that relate directly to students' future career paths to help them see the practical relevance of their studies. I also aim to provide consistent, constructive feedback to build confidence and sustain their enthusiasm for learning.
