The truth is that the environment in the classroom is a key aspect that affects students' motivation for better or for worse.
This article provides four useful tips for teachers to create a positive classroom culture. The first one is about being close to our students by shaking hands at the beginning of the day and by asking them how they are feeling. Then we can ask them their expectations about the class and the people around them so as to get to agreements and ground rules that must be followed in class. Additionally, a team atmosphere must be created in order to make learners aware of the importance of having a good relationship with each other during the courses. Finally, if the efforts are not working, the team needs to get to new agreements again. The article is such a helpful element for future teachers to work together with their students to build a positive environment for learning that is full of teamwork and motivation.

And as teachers, we work to create a community where all students feel safe, supported and heard, no matter the dynamics in the room.

This is an awesome strategy to get the discussion flowing in the classroom. It also gets all of the class engaged because as we know, teens are not always willing to share their ideas freely so by having the option for them to share early so that they can sit down.
I also loved the idea of clicks for praise where the whole class joins in. That would be a real confidence booster for the students.

The good thing about having several teachers is that if one of them is not very good, you only have him or her for part of the day. Also, shuffling from class to class breaks up the monotony and allows for brief jokey chats in the hallway. During class, side conversations seem to sprout when a class goes above five students. Chaos is logarithmic. One micro-class made up of one, or two, or three students, plus a sympathetic tutor, can get more done in an hour than a roomful of 25 bored, loud fidgeters plus a shouting, pleading instructor can accomplish in a week.

To the point evaluation of the benefits of VR in the classroom. Fantastic little Infograph to show students to motivate them and to show them the real world benefits of learning through VR experiences.

In aiming for full engagement, it is essential that students perceive activities as being meaningful. Research has shown that if students do not consider a learning activity worthy of their time and effort, they might not engage in a satisfactory way, or may even disengage entirely in response (Fredricks, Blumenfeld, & Paris, 2004). To ensure that activities are personally meaningful, we can, for example, connect them with students' previous knowledge and experiences, highlighting the value of an assigned activity in personally relevant ways. Also, adult or expert modeling can help to demonstrate why an individual activity is worth pursuing, and when and how it is used in real life.

Absolutely true! Relationships are critical for engaging students. My own research has shown this to me and as Rita Pierson famously said, They won't care about learning until they know that you care.

Interesantes resultados y recomendaciones que surgen de un estudio realizado a partir del análisis de la data recogida de la observación de 6.9 millones de sesiones de videos por parte de estudiantes de cuatro cursos edX y de entrevistas con equipos de producción de dichos videos. Se midió el nivel de interés (engagement) que estos videos provocaron en los estudiantes de manera indirecta a través del tiempo en que estos permanecían observando el video. Aún cuando esta no es ni siquiera una buena medida para comprender el impacto de estos contenidos multimedia en el aprendizaje de los alumnos, el estudio brinda algunas interesantes luces sobre como deben producirse estos videos para fines educativos y conseguir al menos que los estudiantes no se aburran rápidamente con ellos.

having recently seen "Most Likely to Succeed" , I am curious to read about the pros and cons of how folks are using PBL. Great considerations to the power of the challenge and the driv8ing question to even further engage students fully with real world problems.

Self explanatory visual on the benefits of gaming as a means of learning. Outlined are the rewards, mastery, engagement, intensity, exercise, readiness, and competitiveness. These types of graphics need to be displayed in the classroom. There's always parents who are unsure of how gaming qualifies as teaching. Can't they just sit their kid in front of an iPad all day at home? Well, in the appropriate setting, with the right direction and guidance, games are certainly good for learning. Some people just don't know that from experience yet. |
