Motivating Students

Sarah Marshall
About this episode

I remember when I first had my babies,  I was astounded at how much they practiced. Without me doing anything to encourage them!

When they learned to use their voice they would lie in their cot and experiment with slides and sounds. When they learned to roll they would roll at any opportunity, when learning to crawl they kept practicing, same with walking, and talking and so on. So why on earth does this change as we get older?

To be honest, I haven’t got a clue but it did spark my interest in motivation and so when I saw this study on motivational interventions, I was keen to see if there was anything that might be useful for us in motivating our students.
