Action Research: Meditations on Motivation |
||||
| During the 2000-01 school year, three teachers examined methods of increasing their students' motivation to learn. The process started with these teachers looking at motivation and exploring the various factors that affect student motivation. After identifying the attributes of a motivated student, each teacher designed methods which they hoped would increase student motivation and therefore student learning in their classrooms. This website briefly examines each teacher's project, and then offers discussion as to why the data offered here may be meaningful to other teachers as well. To access the research of each teacher, simply click on the links to the right. |
