Instructional Delivery and Comprehensive Understanding of Subject Matter Competency 3 Flashcards
Five research-based practical techniques to motivate the unmotivated student
Challenge, choice, significance, feedback, and competence.
Key 1) Realize that challenge and high expectations are more motivating than low expectations.
Examples: Writing an essay is a chore; getting published is a challenge.
Key 2)Provide choice:
We best engage students when we seek diversity of responses rather than coping and mindless repetition.
Key 3)Give students an opportunity for significance:
Students crave for responsibility and meaning and large-sca;e service learning projects in small and large school systems demonstrate the power of purpose and meaning for their lives.
Key 4)Provide Feedback that is accurate, specific, and designed to improve performance:
Provide feedback that is clear, relevant, immediate, and constructive. Feedback, not threats of low grades, fears to better performance.
Key 5) Help students to feel competent:
They are more engaged and learned better when they are challenged, exercise choice, feel significant, receive accurate feedback, and know that they know that they are competent.
T or F: Lower expectations should be provided for students who lack internal motivation.
