Developing intrinsic motivation is key! Strategies that work include:
- Achievable tasks with gradual difficulty increase
- Relevant, contextual examples (e.g., local context, everyday experiences)
- Building confidence through early success
- Relatable content that resonates with students' lives
Other effective approaches might include:
- Student autonomy and choice
- Feedback that focuses on effort, not just ability
- Encouraging self-reflection and goal-setting
