Motivating Students The purpose of this research paper is to present research findings that show motivational teaching strategies to encourage the academic performance and achievement of students. Motivation is the drive on one’s thoughts and actions. Motivation is key to arouse the brain and to activate your senses. Motivation to learn is defined as, “The meaningfulness, value, and benefits of academic tasks to the learner.” (Lumsden, 1994). Students use motivation in the classroom to stimulate
educators is motivating their students. Motivating, meaning, giving their students a reason for the work they must complete. Working without a purpose can be very challenging for students and will keep them from appreciating and taking care of their work in a satisfactory approach. In the Problem Problem by Gerald Graff he expresses his feelings towards the motivation of students. He discusses how students don’t appreciate the work they do and how they should. Graff believes that most students have a negative
I believe a classroom should be a sanctuary of learning in which the students know from the beginning what is expected of them and the teacher should discuss what is expected of her as a teacher. There needs to be an understanding amongst all involved with the children education. This understanding can lead to a fun filled adventurous classroom that encourages students to strive for the best. I believe when students and teachers are able to learn from each other, the learning environment can be successful
Motivate Students In the field of education there is a broad spectrum of strategies to motivate students. Through research only a sample of the spectrum was covered, which consisted of twenty-nine sources. Four interrelated categories were created that individually provide strategies to motivate students. The four categories consist of teaching strategies to motivate students, program structure to motivate students, self-motivational strategies, and parent strategies to motivate students. All
Self-Efficacy Theory is important to motivate students who do like study. The belief of Self-efficacy determines the students’ feelings, thoughts, behaviors, and motivations. Self-efficacy determines students’ abilities in their learning, while positive self-efficacy makes students think they have the abilities to complete learning tasks; this holds a positive and progressive learning attitude. However, when the students' self-efficacies are low and they don't think they can finish learning tasks
Gain Sharing Employers are often faced with the challenge of looking for ways to boost productivity and profitability while at the same time, motivating employees to accomplish organizational goals. For many employers, variable pay plans have risen to meet this challenge. A variable pay plan ties pay increases to increased performance and productivity. One of the more popular group variable pay plans is called gain sharing. Under gain sharing pay programs, both the employer and the employee benefit
Many teachers ask their students to put their phones away when in the classroom. I see people on their phones in class everyday and even when the teacher asks them to put it away they still dont. I think that putting their phone away should be enforced because it is very disrespectful, distracting, and many people use it to cheat on tests or quizzes. When the teacher asks a student to put their phone away and they don't I think that it is very disrespectful, because the teachers are their to help

In daily work managers need to respect and follow these needs so that employees will work most efficiently and effectively. Following these needs and trying to execute them is the best instruction
How do you get things done in an organization? First, you must have managers who can delegate to employees. Effective managers have the ability to get things done through other people. This is accomplished by motivating employees to accomplish tasks. A manager must be able to delegate these tasks to employees. The technique a manager uses to motivate employees to work for him, will either motivate or dissatisfy employees. Motivated employees will work with the manager to achieve company goals
to align the interests of the employees, the organisation, and its shareholders (O’Neil, 1998). In addition O’Neil (1998) also suggests that a RM system can serve the purpose of attracting prospective job applicants, retaining valuable employees, motivating employees, ensuring legal requirements relating to direct and indirect rewards are not violated, assisting the company in achieving human resource and business objectives, and ultimately assisting the organisation in obtaining a competitive advantage
CREATING A MOTIVATING CLASSROOM 6 Obstacles to Student Engagement There are many obstacles that get into the way of student engagement and many students find themselves bored in the classroom which tunes them out of true learning and the risk of not retaining what they have learnt.

Teachers could go on trips to their favorite places like shopping centers or sports arenas and any other. Teachers could also have them bring some of their favourite objects, photos, among others into class and talk about themselves. Motivating teenagers is not an impossible task. By incorporating what they like, teachers can build bridges between students and their approach to learning
While I speak largely of anxiety as an affliction, it is also a motivating aspect of my identity that pushes me to work hard and never to settle. I have always been a high-achieving, competitive student. I have received many awards and academic scholarships, but never felt truly validated until I was awarded a Teaching Assistantship at the University of Central Oklahoma. This new role has caused me great distress and doubt, but has also rewarded me and validated me in ways that I had never even considered

However, not all the students will follow the routine to finish their work and focus on the sources they should learn. Jason

This strategy can be implemented for students with learning disabilities, ELLs, general education students, and high-achievers. Therefore, PALS is great for inclusion classrooms.

Attraction to school is considered an affective state, and engagement has been defined as a set of behaviors (Johnson, Elder, 2001). Engagement can be expanded among five different categories.
