Drawbacks of extrinsic motivation

Its not sustainable - As soon as you withdraw the

punishment or reward, the motivation disappears.

You get diminishing returns - If the punishment or

rewards stay at the same levels, motivation slowly drops

off. To get the same motivation next time requires a bigger

reward.

It hurts intrinsic motivation - Punishing or rewarding

people for doing something removes their own innate

desire to do it on their own. From now on you must

punish/reward every time to get them to do it."

Motivating students is a challenge all

teachers face. Since every classroom

consists of a wide array of students, eachstudent brings with them different student

learning styles, different interests, and

different life experiences that make eachclassroom unique and special.

One excellent way to start is by having

strong classroom management skills

Expectations:

Teachers should set reasonable objectives

for every lesson that allow their students to

progress in the classroom. Expect students to

achieve the objectives, and they will.

Success:

Motivate students by showing them that they

can be successful in the classroom. Teachers

can differentiate instruction to meet thestudents' needs by adjusting the corresponding

class work to the appropriate levels.

Class work can be modified in a variety of

ways: shortened assignments, extra response

time, or enrichment activities.

Relevance:

Show students how what they are learning

matters in real life. This is one of the mosteffective motivation techniques, especially for

older students, as it gives them meaning and

purpose for their hard work. Guide students to discuss the new material,

and allow students to draw on their own

experiences to learn and understand the new

material.

Engaging Questions:

Lead in with questions that will get the

students talking. Encourage students to

discuss the topic by bringing what they know

about the topic to the classroom discussion.

Clarify any questions that arise by encouraging

the students to talk to each other first and

expand on their pre-existing knowledge.

Incorporate different learning styles:

Use a variety of teaching strategies in the

classroom to facilitate the lesson.

Classroom discussions consist of whole group

learning. Cooperative group learning allows

students to work together on assignments insmall groups.

Direct instruction allows teachers to model

lesson assignments first so students can work

independently at their desks.
