MOOC-Ed: Learning Differences: Student Motivation

2/26/2015

2 Comments

 
Consider whether one of the following activities might work well for your colleagues during a regularly scheduled staff/department/PLC meeting.


Provide folks with learning materials and/or references about “Extrinsic & Intrinsic”  motivation in students (e.g. Intrinsic vs. Extrinsic. The Challenge of Motivation | Ecology of Education Blog.
Invite folks in small groups to ...
  • Brainstorm working definitions of “Extrinsic & Intrinsic”  motivation;
  • Discuss their students tendency toward “extrinsic” or “intrinsic” motivation … What do they see their students doing or saying?     



Recruit 4-6 folks to facilitate rotating “table talks” aligned and focused on specific content areas (i.e. Math, SS, Science and other site-based curricula). Provide facilitators with content specific motivation strategies gleaned from the MOOC-Ed and “group-think” some “Try It Tommorow” applications for upcoming lessons or units.


During whole staff, PLN/PLC and/or department meeting that is seeded with folks who have completed the Learning Differences MOOC-ED, ask each participant to record one to three ways they currently motivate students (overall or in specific content areas). When done, have everyone continuously pass their cards to the left (use a timer or music ). When time is up or the music stops, on the current card each person has in their hands, they add at least two more ideas or feedback. Repeat as appropriate. All cards go back to original owners, refreshed with new ideas and feedback.

The following were also shared:

- A questionnaire used to measure Ss' perception of a course:

- This article expresses how important it is to add Ss' voices into assessment in order to generate a growth mindset rather than a fixed mindset (a mindset of limitations) and thus empower Ss to clearly set goals and learn how to achieve them as well as see what they can do in a course throughout a set time frame:

Another useful tool when helping Ss set goals is to use the site https://www.futureme.org/ where once you have set goals, you can program a email written to yourself now that will arrive in the near future and serve as a tracker of your growth mindset.

As for educators, you could also implement this suggested activity: Articulate your theories about an unmotivated student using a 4-2-1 summarizing technique.
In your reflection you might include:
* 4 possible reasons this student is or appears to be unmotivated.
* 2 specific strategies and a plan for building his/her motivation in your classroom.
*1 timeline for acting upon your plan.
