Motivating Students to Learn
Main Ideas
Motivation drives effort and persistence
Can be intrinsic (from within) or extrinsic(from outside rewards).
Students learn better when goals feel meaningful and achievable
Expectancy-Value Theory: Effort depends on how much students value a task and their expectation of success
Too many external rewards can reduce motivation
Most Surprising Principle
Too many external rewards can reduce intrinsic motivation
Important Theorists and their Combination(s)
Abraham Maslow- Hierarchy of Needs
John W. Atkinson- Achievement Motivation & Expectancy-Value Theory ( Balance of Success vs. Failure expectations
Classroom Example
Giving Choice in Projects boost value + confidence
Grade 6
Science project where students pick their own topic
with scaffolding
so students expect success
Strength
Explains why some students take on challenges and others avoid them
Limitation
Motivation is complex and may change daily; no single theory fits all students
Connection to my Own Experience
I worked Harder in Mathematics
a subject I really Valued and believed I could Succeed
in Quadratic Equation part
My Question for Class
How can teachers raise both expectancy (students' confidence) and value (interest/importance) in everyday lessons?
