Creating Student Motivation

Abstract

Student thinking could be useful as a "powerful learning oppurtunity." An NCTM research journal article states that students seem to be limited in classroom instruction. Many teachers stive to understand the productive use of student thinking better in classrooms. Teachers can create oppurtunities for students to learn more efficently by creating a welcoming and safe environment for student growth. Intrinsically motivated students have higher achievement levels, along with having lower anxiety levels (Leatham, 2015). Student development is key, so teachers are continuously looking for ways to tackle this issue.
