Why do we need to motivate?
Why do we need to motivate?
• It is our position that strengthening a students sense of self-esteem and emotional well-being is not an extra curriculum; if anything, a students sense of belonging, security, and self-confidence provides the scaffolding that supports the foundation for enhanced learning, motivation, and self- discipline. (Goldstein, 2007)

Types of MotivationTypes of Motivation
There are two types of motivation:• Extrinsic: Motivation to engage in an activity as a means to an end. (Eggan & Kauchek, 2007)
• Intrinsic: Motivation to be involved in an activity for its own sake. (Eggan & Kauchek, 2007)

5 Theories of Motivation
5 Theories of Motivation
Expectancy x Value TheorySelf-Efficacy Theory
Goal & Goal Orientation Theory
Attribution TheorySelf-determination Theory
Expectancy x Value TheorySelf-Efficacy Theory
Goal & Goal Orientation Theory
Attribution TheorySelf-determination Theory
Expectancy x Value Theory
Expectancy x Value Theory A cognitive theory of motivation
suggesting that people are motivated to engage in an activity to the extent that they expect to succeed times the value they place on their success. (Eggen & Kauchak, 2007)
EX: If a student is strong in math they can expect to do well on a math assignment, as opposed to doing well on an English test if they are not strong in language.

Self-Efficacy TheorySelf-Efficacy Theory A belief about one’s own capability to organize and complete a course of action required to accomplish a specific task. (Eggen & Kauchek, 2007)
EX: If a student feels that they will fail at doing a task correctly, they have low self-efficacy. If a student consistently does well in a certain subject area, they will have high self-efficacy.

Goal TheoryGoal Theory
An outcome an individual hopes to achieve. (Eggen & Kauchek, 2007)
The goals can be learning goals, performance goals, performance-avoidance goals, or social goals.
EX: Student sets a goal to reach in subject areas, and whether they reach their goal or not will influence their motivation.

Attribution TheoryAttribution Theory A cognitive theory of motivation that attempts to systematically describe learners’ expectations for their successes and failures and how these influence motivation and behavior. (Eggen & Kauchek, 2007)
EX: A student doesn’t like math, so because they dislike the subject they think that is why they have done poorly on a test.

Self-Determination Theory
Self-Determination Theory
The process of deciding how to act on one’s environment (Eggen & Kauchek, 2007)
EX: When a student feels comfortable in a learning situation they will be more motivated to do well in that environment.

Classroom ManagementClassroom Management
Classroom management refers to all of the things that a teacher does to organize students, space, time, and materials so that learning can take place. This management includes fostering student involvement and cooperation in all classroom activities and establishing a productive working environment. (Wong, 2007)

The 5 R’s of Classroom Management
The 5 R’s of Classroom Management
Readiness: Teachers need to be ready for the day so they can convey to the students what their expectations are. Teachers expect students to be ready, the need to convey
they same attitude. Routine: Teachers need to set a routine for their students
of what is done each day. Students like to know what to expect and it improves the flow of the day when students
know what is expected of them. Rehearsal: The routine has to be practiced on a regular
basis so the students become familiar with what is expected. Remember…practice makes perfect.
Repetition: It is important to repeat expectations and repeat routines. Students need to be reminded why they are
there and what they are supposed to be doing. Reinforce: Teachers need to be consistent with their expectations and use the same language as they remind and
encourage students to remember the expectations.
