10 Super-quick and easy ways to
intrinsically motivate your students
Although “motivation activity”
rarely appears on any standard lesson plan template, devising ways to appeal to
your students’ interests is certainly worth the time and trouble. Students who
are intrinsically motivated will want to do their work, will want to stay on
task, will want to succeed. And what teacher would not want to encourage that
behavior?
1. Offer encouraging, focused
feedback as well as general praise to encourage students to work with purpose.
2. Recognize and praise effort.
Help your students develop self-efficacy by helping them see the connection
between effort and achievement.
3. Make success possible. Begin
each assignment with the easier material, question, etc. Creating confident
learners will encourage them to keep trying.
4. Offer students a variety of ways
to self-monitor their work. The easiest way is to offer them checklists to keep
track of completed tasks.
5. It’s almost magic. If you think
highly of your students, they will tend to behave better for you than for the
teachers who obviously do not enjoy being with them.
6. Provide plenty of models,
samples, and examples so that students know what to do. Examples of bad work
are also helpful because they can show student what not to do.
7. Give clear written and verbal
direction so that your students can find it easy to stay on task. Students who
know how to do their work well will be less apt to be off class than those who
do not know what they need to accomplish in class.
8. Arouse student curiosity about a
lesson and you will find that inherent motivation will prevent many discipline
problems.
9. Spend two minutes at the start
of a lesson: ask questions, show photos, play clips, give quick teamed
activities…anything that will encourage students to want to learn more.
10. Spend time setting goals with
your students. Looking forward in this way gives your students practical
reasons for wanting to do their work.
