More Motivators for Students

There are many things which can serve as motivators for students. The teachers can greatly help in motivating the students. With constant encouragement to students, they are more likely to succeed in delivering the lessons and making them retain in the students’ minds. Students have short attention spans. They can listen at this minute and turn their heads at the next minutes. Thus, a teacher must strive to seek the students’ attention every time during the discussion. This involves influencing the students to actually understand how lessons are important and how they must value the learning they get from school.

First step: Set a goal for your students. They must be attainable for the students to complete.

The first step is to set a goal for your students. You must expect an excellence performance from them. Trust them to deliver the goals you have envisioned for them to achieve. No one will trust them just as much as their teacher would provide them to. Make sure that these expectations are attainable. Do not overdo your students’ effort because it might cost them their strong will to do school work. Let them get motivated on their own pace. Do not drag them into something that they would not attempt in time.

Second step: Make the learning experience worthwhile. Mix learning with fun events.

Mix the school work with some enjoyable things to do. You can use different instructional materials that can greatly catch the attention of students. There are varieties of teaching methods which you can utilize to improve the learning experience of your students. Introduce a new way of learning through group discussions, interactive media and classroom service which the students can greatly enjoy. This is the number one motivator one can implement in class. Mixing fun and learning is possible and thus should be employed in every classroom.

Third step: Plan trips which may enrich the student’s knowledge more than what the classroom can give.

Another suggestion is to utilize field trips. The students’ behaviour outside the classroom is always different inside. Knowing your student through outside-activity observation is essential in determining the students’ motivators. Do not forget to reward your students with the acknowledgement they deserve. Any positive thing they do outside and inside the classroom must be rewarded. A teacher can provide them the incentives for grades or material goodies.

Fourth step: Relate the classroom topics with current life dealings of the students.

To fully understand how the students work in school, you may relate the school discussions with the life status the student is currently on. You can use history lessons in tracking why a student’s grandmother is afraid of guns due to world wars experience by them. You may use pop culture in determining the right kind of music which your students will like. Know how the topics in your class can be related with the lives of your students. In this way they will be more interested in what’s in for them. They can use these pieces of information in internalizing what they have in life as of the moment.
