Motivation
and Managing Students for Effective Learning
The
third year of study time has come. The first assignment has accosted me in the
first week of the fifth semester. Well, no more complain because I do realize
that assignment will be my endless partner in my university life. In this
semester, I have to learn about “Motivation and Managing Students for Effective
Learning”. Based on the name of the course, I do guessing about what I will
learn through this semester. In my opinion before attending the class, this
course will discuss about on how we can create effective learning for the
students through motivating and managing them so the maximum potential of each
students can be achieved.
We
will see whether the guessing I did is true or false. When I heard the course
objective which had been read by lecturer, I found out that there were more
than only motivated and managed the students during their study process. We
have to know on how we do it, and try to get to know our students well, and
then identify what kind of students they are. If we know those things so it
will be a little bit easier to create the effective learning. This course will
be more interesting because I will learn how to create the effective learning
through some theories then try to find the strategies and approaches to do it.
The
effective learning can be created if the parties who are involved in the classroom
can support each others. There are teacher and students who will have
interaction in the classroom. Therefore, each of them should know how to act. A
teacher will be the one who will guide the students to achieve the objective
learning. It is expected that students will get something more than only just
lesson in the classroom. The teacher should be able to motivate the students
when they are in the critical condition like do not have passion to study. The
teacher should be able to manage the classroom so positive environment can be
there.
Basically,
the teacher will be assigned as a model and the people who know everything in
the classroom so the students will rely on the teacher. So if the teacher could guide the students
well in exploring the journey of life, it will be great for the students in
stepping the next level of life. If the teacher can take heart of each student
it will be easier to direct the students to get better future. When I was
asked, what kind of teacher do you like? I will answer the inspiring teacher
because that teacher will give me not only the lesson but also the value of
life. Therefore, I was most motivated when I have the inspiring teachers who
can show me the right path of life. I was unmotivated when I got nothing from
the lesson I joined. This will be the great challenges for the educators in the
21st century on how we can inspire our students.
It
will be the duty of the teachers to motivate the students so the students can
have passion to study because they are motivated. From my personal opinion,
motivation is simply the desire of the people to do something they want because
when they can get what they want, satisfaction will come to them. I have learnt
about theoretical views of motivation through group discussion. These theoretical
views have broadened
my knowledge about what the motivation actually is. I hope what I learnt in the
college can be applied in the real situation in the future. Over all, this
course is nice and I will put more attention into this course because this will
increase my skill in being a teacher.
