Q: How do you encourage students to learn? Can a student be forced to learn?
A: There are a number of ways I encourage
students to learn. One way is by relating to their personal life. I believe
that creating a connection with a student will help him/her become motivated to
listen to you. I also believe that there are ways to get students to learn even
when they don’t want to. “Challenge by Choice” is a teaching style I use to
motivate unmotivated students. This style gives the students the option to
choose how well they want to perform a task I choose. “Challenge by Choice” also
gives the student a sense that they’re in control even though I’ve picked the
specified task.
