Fires 6: Motivation and Boredom


Fires 6: Motivation and Boredom

            Keeping students interested and motivated to work hard at their studies is discussed here.  Getting students drawn in to the material is seen as important to helping motivate them. 

            Having the teacher be passionate about their field is important.  Teachers should make it interesting to students by connecting it to their interests, and give them choices so they feel more involved. 
Connecting the topic to something in students’ lives is a really good way to inspire their involvement.  Also, the teacher should be ready to help students understand it better, show they care about students’ progress, and find creative ways to bring it alive.  That is something I agree with and plan on doing in the classroom.
