HOW TO GET

STUDENT MOTIVATED
AND TALK IN CLASS
MOTIVATION

Definition :

 The inner drive to do something.

TWO TYPES OF MOTIVATION
 Extrinsic motivation : refers to motivation to
engage in an activity as a mean to an end
(stickers, marks, praise, free time,
chocolate , sweets….)
 Intrinsic motivation: is a motivation to be
involved in an activity for its own
sake(students love learning, make learning
meaningful, experience success , let them
control themselves (choose your partner,
choose your method).
MOTIVATION TO LEARN

 Motivation to learn describes a student’s

tendency to find academic activities
meaningful and find the learning value of a
certain activity.
THREE SETS OF FACTORS INFLUENCE
:STUDENT’S MOTIVATION TO LEARN

1.Teacher characteristics that increase

motivation to learn(personal teaching
efficacy, modeling and enthusiasm, caring).

2.A safe and orderly classroom(order, trust ,

cooperation).

3.Instructional factors(success, challenge,

concrete examples, feedback) .
HOW TO GET STUDENTS TO TALK IN
CLASS
1.Get them talking to each other, not just to
you.

2.Tell them to address their comments to each

other.

3. Try not to respond to every student

comment instead ask the class what they
think about what has just been said.
SHARE THE AUTHORITY

1. Start class with discussion.

2. Use a PowerPoint presentation.
3. Delegate responsibility for bringing in
discussion questions to students.
ASK OPEN-ENDED QUESTIONS

1. Try not to use yes/no , agree/disagree

questions.

2. Try not to answer you own questions.

3. Give them time to think.

USE STRATEGIC BODY LANGUAGE

1.Literally push your chair away from the

table during the discussion, signaling that
the forum is now theirs.

2.Nod your head encouragingly.

3. Try not to cross your arms or frown when

students are speaking; these are
discouraging signals.
TAKE NOTES WHEN STUDENTS ARE
SPEAKING
 This shows them that value what they say and
are learning from them.
 allows you to remain engaged in the discussion
without dominating it.
 helps you remember what the students said so
that you can refer to their comments later,
which also shows them that you value their
ideas.
USE ACTIVE LEARNING STRATEGIES
1. Free write: give them time to jot down
some ideas in response to a problem or
question before you expect them to have
an answer ready.
2. Pair share: discuss the problem or
question you have posed.
3. Skills building activities :help students
engage actively with the material through
creative exercises that help them build
critical skills.
