– They don’t want to learn

lack of motivation

Make the benefits of trying more
desirable than the benefits of not trying • 1. Make sure that assigned tasks are
realistic so that all students can complete them if they really try.– Small groups– Different assignments– Different assessments– Self-monitoring
![Page 11: Motivating Students to Want to Learn You can drag a horse to water….](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070413/5697bfd71a28abf838cae7ff/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
• 2. Focus students’ attention on their own progress, not on others’ – Base rewards on improvement– Use individual improvement charts– Use short-term goals

• 3. Reward effort apart from outcome– Use a separate system of grades or rewards– Have students reflect on their effort– Help them learn from their mistakes– Praise diligence apart from brilliance

• 4. Give every student opportunities to demonstrate competence in class– Set time aside for demonstration in non-
academic areas– Give everyone a job

• Allow students to set goals– Make sure they are realistic and challenging– Record the goals and track their progress– Give each student a picture of his/her “status”

REMEMBER: MADNESS IS DEFINED AS DOING
THINGS SAME WAY OVER AND OVER AND
EXPECTING A DIFFERENT OUTCOME EACH TIME.
