How Does an Educator Motivate? In ECS 100 this winter, we were placed in groups according to our choice of topics for the Topic Exploration assignments. Our task was to create a presentation that would teach the rest of the class about our papers.
In this way, I was able to collaborate with other students who also researched something along the lines of motivation. I learned a lot from my group in the time I got to spend with them. Together, we discussed the importance of motivation in the classrooms, and different ways that an educator can keep their classes motivated to learn. We discussed individual topics such as alternative seating, self-expression, the importance of choice, student-teacher relationships, and creativity. All of these components have a significant impact on motivation, and each section includes different ways to keep students motivated. Together, we talked about the key elements of all of our information and decided to create a video (attached below) to help get the key parts of our message across in a fun way.

Observations in a Unique Classroom Stories from the Field: Things we'll always remember…
Synthesis of Field Experiences (final reflection) Altogether, I am very glad I got to spend my field experience in and SLC room. It was a unique experience that gave me insight into how I can better manage my classroom because they need to have that aspect down to a science in a class like this. I enjoyed getting to know the students, and it was made easier by the fact that there was a maximum of six students in there with us on any given day. I do not believe I would have ever gotten a chance to experience anything quite like an SLC if not for this semester. I have seen a regular classroom before, and I will get to experience a regular class again, but I am very grateful for the chance to experience a program like this one. We did not miss out on anything either, both teachers had taught in regular classes before teaching this one and were able to provide us with many tips, trick, and tools that we can use in the future. Motivation and the Educator Abstract
This paper explores the effect of the educator on student motivation. The goal of this paper was to determine the ways in which a teacher influences their students. Three articles were examined to view researchers’ theories on motivation in the classroom. The research detailed in these reports came from varying methods and sample areas. Multiple surveys, questionnaires, and observational methods were used to gather information. A common theme in each of these research articles is that it is how the educator handles their classroom and connects to the students that have the strongest effect on student motivation. Further research is being done in these areas to help teachers gain a better understanding of what they can do to contribute to student success. I intend to take what I learned from the research I did to write this paper and apply it my own future classroom. |
