And who to?
I'd set on devising a website that students could use to
help with their studies, as I looked into interdependent learning it would give
them a feeling autonomy and therefore increase their motivation to study. I
also wanted to create a Facebook group where students and teachers could ask
questions share videos and ideas. We've all learned the power of social media
on this course, I wanted to see if some of that would be use full to keep student's
motivation levels high.
Based on my research I concluded that if student where
taught the skills to help develop their motivation (intrinsic) rather that the
teachers creating motivation (extrinsic) it would have stronger and a more
lasting effect. So (thanks to a discussion with Paula) I also decided to design
a booklet for a student induction which would be held in the first week of
college. The booklet will give them strategies to help develop their intrinsic
motivation as well as introducing them to what's expected of them in regards to
self-study.
Thanks Della - sounds very promising as a way to integrate your university work on the professional inquiry into your workplace practice
