This Concept Map, created with IHMC CmapTools, has information related to: Motivation. Richard Lavoie, percieved Student laziness is really Learned helplessness in over 60% of cases, does not work reasons Doesn't generalise to other environments, being embarrassed so Do not make students look dumb, Pick your fights you do not have to attend every battle can do homework for problematic children when starting a new topic This gives the student some degree of ownership and they will be glad to help out with the topic, PRAISE PRIZES PRESTIGE PROJECTS CO-OPERATING WITH PEOPLE POWER MINOR CHOICE TECHNIQUE for arguementative children and power struggles Giving the student a minor choice allows them to exert their power over a decision. eg What colour paper do you want to use? Note the point of discussion is not the work issue but a minor choice that gives the student power. The child doesn't want any of your power they just want some of their own., All human behaviour is MOTIVATED other than homeostatic and physiological functions and there are environmental effects on this, Cyclic Biorhythms of Mind Body and Emotions so eventually clocks will be in sync or out of sync, Learned helplessness in over 60% of cases best approach Give the chain a tug ie "are you up to the challenge", Not every child is motivated to the same extent by each of these factors so give children SOME DEGREE OF OWNERSHIP, Performance inconsistency part of The student profile, Student Motivation based on the ideas of Richard Lavoie M.A., M.Ed. STRATEGIES PRAISE PRIZES PRESTIGE PROJECTS CO-OPERATING WITH PEOPLE POWER, PRAISE PRIZES PRESTIGE PROJECTS CO-OPERATING WITH PEOPLE POWER GETTING A COMMITTMENT TECHNIQUE use with boys (11yo - 17 yo) The students word is their bond. Ask the student a question with the two outcomes. Chances are that the student will choose the favourable outcome 80%, if told 40%. If the student takes the naughty option ask why they didn't stand by their word. But the most hurtful human emotion is dissappointment. BUT DON'T SAY THEY HAVE LET YOU DOWN BC IT IS TOO STRONG AN EMOTION - IT HURTS TOO MUCH., Student Motivation based on the ideas of Richard Lavoie M.A., M.Ed. Teachers expectations percieved Student laziness, Some children are motivated by and seek power. But power is seen by the teacher asd a big amorphic ball which is all needed by the teacher. The aim isn't to diminish the teachers power teacher power works by lighting the childrens candle so they have a say in their direction of learning It does not diminish your own power, Student Motivation based on the ideas of Richard Lavoie M.A., M.Ed. The variation in student self motivation is due to Performance inconsistency, Your personality is regulated by these secondary needs STATUS NEEDS (need to feel important and valued by opinion of others) INQUISITIVENESS (need to know) AFFILIATION (need to be connected with something larger that the person) POWER (the need to be in control) ACHIEVEMENT (the need to be recognised) AGRESSION (the need to assert yourself) GREGARIOUSNESS (the need to interact with other people) AUTONOMY (the need to be working alone - eg most teachers) it is important to realise that Everybody is motivated differently - do not motivate children by using the tools that motivate you, Primary needs must be met HUNGER - eat these and get back to work THIRST - make sure the children have water bc dry mouth is a sympyom of many psychoactive drugs (ritalin) AIR and REST ( do not take away recess as a punishment) ELIMINATION OF WASTE Must be met first then meet secondary psychological needs Your personality is regulated by these secondary needs STATUS NEEDS (need to feel important and valued by opinion of others) INQUISITIVENESS (need to know) AFFILIATION (need to be connected with something larger that the person) POWER (the need to be in control) ACHIEVEMENT (the need to be recognised) AGRESSION (the need to assert yourself) GREGARIOUSNESS (the need to interact with other people) AUTONOMY (the need to be working alone - eg most teachers), Performance inconsistency due to Cyclic Biorhythms of Mind Body and Emotions, To problematic student: "I'm preparing a new topic on astronomy over the weekend what would you like to learn about it?" next week Directly ENGAGE the child in the lesson by using them as a guide, Student Motivation based on the ideas of Richard Lavoie M.A., M.Ed. STRATEGIES Positive feedback generalises to other settings
