Learning In the Fast Lane chapter 7 - Student Motivation



Title of Book/Reading/Study Programme

Learning in the Fast Lane

Author

Suzy Pepper Rollins

Synopsis

This chapter is primarily about student motivation when they work. The central thesis is students need to see the VALUE of the work they are doing, and have the CONFIDENCE to engage with the task. Confidence comes through earlier chapters as tasks are scaffolded for success, Value comes through student agency and interest.

Motivation

Having students want to engage in their learning. We have about 90% - 95% of students who are engaged, and then another 10% who don't engage.

How will it help me? How has it helped me?

A reminder of the importance of developing relationships and setting high-value tasks that engage students in learning.
