What is behind the motivation of teens in education?
OVERVIEW
One of the biggest challenges in education is to keep teenage students truly engaged. In an online environment it might seem even harder to motivate these learners and create meaningful learning opportunities that will increase student satisfaction and commitment. By challenging beliefs regarding motivation that might have been informing our practice for a long time – especially the idea that rewards and threats are effective tools, we will delve into what real motivation is and discuss newer paradigms. In this webinar, we will look into the role of autonomy, mastery and purpose in educational processes and how a deeper understanding of these principles can empower educators in the quest towards the motivation of their teenage students
