And how do you motivate your students?
What motivates You?Slide2
Motivation
Most people do things because they are motivated to do them
Two kinds of motivation
Extrinsic
IntrinsicSlide3
Extrinsic motivation
Doing something for an external reward
Usually material
Money
Points
Grades
TreatsSlide4
Intrinsic Motivation
Doing something for internal reasons
Satisfaction
“because it’s the right thing to do”
“desire to learn”Slide5
Which kind is “better”?
Better means? Longer-lasting, more reliable
Intrinsic does not depend on material goods
Cheaper, portable
Extrinsic
The reward becomes the goal, not the action
Without the reward nothing gets done
Rewards become Less effective with timeSlide6
What motivates students?
To do their classwork
What motivates YOU in YOUR classes?Slide7
Classwork motivators that aren’t so great
because I have to take this class
Because my parents are paying for college
To improve my GPA
Because this will be on the testSlide8
Some motivators that are better
Because programming is useful
Because I will learn how to solve problems
Because I can be creative
Because I’ll know more than the other guysSlide9
Teachers always looking for motivators
Making lessons that are meaningful to the students
Familiar
Relatable to the students’ lives
Encourage questions and exploration
Try to avoid using “the test” as a club or as the goal
Failure is GOODSlide10
Failure is good!
"Would you like me to give you a formula for... success? It's quite simple, really. Double your rate of failure. You're thinking of failure as the enemy of success. But it isn't at all... you can be discouraged by failure / or you can learn from it. So go ahead and make mistakes. Make all you can. Because, remember that's where you'll find success. On the far side..
Thomas J. Watson quotes (American Entrepreneur and Founder of IBM , 1874-1956)Slide11
Dr. Marvin Marshall has a system
“Discipline without Stress, Punishment or Rewards”
Behaviors can be described as different Levels
Encourage students to realize they have a
choice
of how they behave every day
Some levels are not acceptable and the teacher has to use authority
Some levels are very acceptable and encouragedSlide12
Dr. Marvin Marshall
Level A – Anarchy – student does anything but what they were asked to do
Level B – Bully – disruption – student also distracts other students so they don’t work either
These two require intervention by the teacherSlide13
Marvin Marshall
Level C – Cooperation – the student does the work, as long as someone is watching, to get attention or to show off
Level D – Self motivated – student works because they want to improve, they want to master the material
C and D are encouraged, D more than CSlide14
Ask the students
“What level was that behavior?”
“Which level leads to the most, best learning?”
“Give me some examples of behavior that is Level A, Level B, Level C, Level D”
Ask them to think about their behavior in the last few minutes, how would they classify it?Slide15
Great results?
Many people have stated they got great results from students in groups and individually with this system
