Motivated Teaching: Harnessing the science of motivation to boost attention and effort in the classroom: 3 (High Impact Teaching)

Product Information

Our Challenging Behaviour Training Course is recommended for education professionals who want to have a better understanding of how to respond to children and young people’s behaviour. The mechanics of motivation: this section examines the centrality of attention [I've been writing an appropriately slow series on this: I'll get back to it]. The book discusses how we can help students secure success, which can lead to proficiency, which in turn can lead to motivation. Introjection and external regulation are grouped as controlled extrinsic motivation because people enact these behaviors due to external or internal pressures. The purpose of this model was to fill a gap in the motivation literature by providing a model that could more clearly allow instructors to identify strategies to help improve motivation levels within their students.

Making each teacher feel valued can be as simple as thanking them for something that they have done recently. For instance, I will share with students how they have been able to demonstrate a clear explanation of a belief, make reference to a correct scholar or illustrate a clear appreciation of how to answer this style of question. Many students want to be shown why a concept or technique is useful before they want to study it further.Alongside these initial responses sit bigger questions about the whole school belonging and changing social norms.

Adrian Bethune, author of the award-winning book, Wellbeing in the Primary Classroom, speaks of the importance of becoming a tribe, where each and every child feels a deep, innate sense of belonging. SDT focuses on the factors that influence intrinsic and extrinsic motivation, which primarily involves the satisfaction of basic psychological needs.

If you continue to use appropriate evidence to support your line of argument, your writing will continue to improve’. Overall, a balance between quality time with students and time away from teaching keeps me motivated.

Peps argues that it is motivation that dictates what students pay attention to, and it is what they pay attention to that determines what they are likely to remember.They will feel more inspired to do well as they will want to do justice to a subject that you have taught so passionately – even if it’s not their main interest in life. To some degree, you sometimes learn something better when you learn it the hard way, but I think too much of that can kill the curiosity that takes us into higher study in the first place. In educational contexts, students feel autonomous when they are given options, within a structure, about how to perform or present their work. Doug Lemov, Author of Teach Like a Champion I doubt you'll find an education book with more useful insights per minute of reading time. Teachers and education leaders will be no stranger to Peps McCrea: his book Memorable Teaching helped us make the learning stick for students.

I love how the book then moves on to summarise how the steps are additive in nature and not necessarily a list to be followed sequentially. This is not all or nothing: you can start with one tiny change and work up to larger changes as success builds. I was 24 hours late releasing content material last week for one of my courses, so obviously, I’m understanding with students about deadlines, too. When an environment provides enough support for the satisfaction of the psychological needs of autonomy, competence and relatedness, an individual may experience self-determined forms of motivation: intrinsic motivation, integration, and identification.

Fostering student motivation is a difficult but necessary aspect of teaching that instructors must consider.
