That's a wonderful approach to fostering equality! In my classroom, I rotate group leaders and assign roles that challenge traditional norms—like girls leading science experiments or boys coordinating art projects. I’ve noticed some biases, especially in subject preferences, but open discussions and role models help break those patterns. Encouraging mixed-gender collaboration and celebrating diverse talents has made participation more balanced and inclusive.

    RE: Developing intrinsic motivation among learnersposted in 3.0 Teaching in the 21st Century Competition@DEXTE176e4f8265 To boost participation from passive learners, teachers can use strategies like setting clear, manageable homework goals and offering regular, positive feedback. Breaking tasks into smaller steps makes homework less overwhelming. Incorporating interests and real-life connections increases relevance and motivation. Using varied formats—like videos or interactive tools—can engage different learning styles. Teachers should also create a supportive environment by checking in regularly, encouraging peer collaboration, and involving parents to reinforce accountability. Building confidence through praise and celebrating progress helps passive learners become more active and committed.
