Recognition is classified by Herzberg as a motivator, recognition fills the need of esteem of teachers since it provides acknowledgment for the performance of certain activities. Recognition, according to Hansen, et.al, (2009) is primordial in increasing motivation as it may reinforce the desire of carry out an activity. Students´ recognition was found to be primordial in the increment of teachers´ motivation. Teacher Francisco (14/10/2016) commented that students´ recognition “…is what elevates your ego the most. It is what most motivates you as a teacher.” The recognition given by students is expressed in different forms. Some of the teachers have received phone calls, messages or posts in the social networks expressing students´ gratitude, which make teachers feel happy and satisfied. According to the six teachers interviewed, the students´ gratefulness, interest, and progress are also, considered as a type of recognition, Teacher Maria (14/10/2016) commented: …show more content…
“Many times, what I don’t like is that the students do not response, even though you take a lot of time and make a lot of effort thinking about the way you will explain something to make students easier to understand, or when you found attitudes of indifference towards the materials you design without value all the effort that the teacher made to provide it.” (Andrea 11/10/16)
Lack of recognition by the institution itself towards EFL teachers seems to be common, Jonhson 2000, Fattash,2013 and Erkaya,2013 shown that the teachers don’t receive recognition by the schools´ authorities. This university was not the exception, five out of six the teachers interviewed declared not being recognized by the institution. Teacher Daniel
The second principle is on Professional Relationship with students, as educator we are always to professional at all times whether we are in or out of the classroom. Moreover, parents trust us to be a safe haven for their children and to look after their children’s wellbeing while in a school setting. As part of this profess...
In the article, Caution–Praise Can Be Dangerous, Dweck’s objective was to explain that praising students has a huge impact on performance and their way of thinking. Dweck studied fifth grade students and the effects of different messages said to them after a task. There were three responses: praise for intelligence, praise for effort, and praised for performance (with no explanation on why the students were successful). She described that having an understanding of how praising works could lead teachers to set their students on the right path. In Carol’s opinion the Self Esteem Movement did not produce beneficial results, but rather limited students’ achievement.
For some students, the time they have in the classroom is not enough for them to grasp the topic. While teachers usually offer a period for students to see them for extra help, some students do not have time for this. Most students have commitments outside of the classroom, such as m...
I listen to my students. I allow time for their individual impute in what they are learning, and adjust accordingly. I really believe that is why students can be so into the idea of being taught, because they are all encouraged to lead the discussion and projects before them as it relates to the curriculum. I try to learn from my students by listening to their interpretation. I am learning what interest them, and feed off of it in the work that needs to be performed. Work towards a positive social society, with this education does takes place for our students, teachers, and community, all for a better future, one that is full of knowledge and acceptance. What could be any
“If you would just get up and teach them instead of handing them a packet. There’s kids in here that don’t learn like that. They need to learn face to face. I’m telling you what you need to do. You can’t expect a kid to change if all you do is just tell ‘em.” Texas student, Jeff Bliss, decided to take a stand against the lack of teaching going on in his class (Broderick).
For the past month or two my mom has been sending me pictures and videos of a red cardinal who seems to be “fighting himself” in our garden mirror. We assume the cardinal to be a resident of our backyard as he always comes back, every day, to “fight himself” and sometimes a female bird accompanies him and last year even some fledglings. Is this cardinal really “fighting himself?” Does he even recognize that that is indeed, a reflection of him showing back to him?
The students’ eyes: this lens establishes just how congruous the teacher’s assumptions about effective learning correspond with those of the students in his or her class.
Encouraging teachers influence us to learn. Learning is the key to everything around us, and knowledge is the po...
Teachers help us expand and open our mind by giving us skills throughout students’ early life to help students when they are older. By learning information from teachers, students become better people, in a couple of ways. Besides inquiring knowledge from their teachers, students learn to work with one another, open their mind to other peoples’ thoughts and ideas, respect one another, and learn different techniques for life’s issues.
Perception is a mysterious thing; it faces a lot of misconception, for it can merely be described as a lens, as it decides how someone views the events happening around them. Perception is the definition of how someone decides to use their senses to observe and make conceptions about events or conditions they see or that are around them. Perception also represents how people choose to observe regardless if it’s in a negative or positive way. In other words, perception can be described as people's cognitive function of how they interpret abstract situations or conjunctures around them. All in all, perception can do three things for someone: perception can change the way someone thinks in terms of their emotions and motivations, perception acts
We ignore the plain fact that students learn at different rates and in different ways” (3). Furthermore, teachers are the main source of knowledge in the classroom. When teaching, teachers determine almost everything that happens within their classroom. Including what information they have students learn, and how they pass on that information. However, over the years, it has been neglected that every student learns differently. Additionally, it needs to be remembered that it is the students who are learning. A school system is needed that can retain all students’ curiosity, individuality, and creativity. For instance, whether it is the amount of homework given, the type of test, the pace of teaching, or the style of notes required, students should not be confined to only one way of
On top of everything else, teachers must possess an irrepressible yearning to motivate and educate children. Some children receive very little praise and motivation outside of the classroom environment. This puts a new responsibility on teachers to make sure that children (especially those who are underprivileged or disregarded by friends and family) get the attention and motivation they need in order to achieve. This can make all the difference in a child?s ability to do well in school.
“One looks back with appreciation to the brilliant teachers, but with gratitude to those who touched our human feelings. The curriculum is so much necessary raw material, but warmth is the vital element for the growing plant and for the soul of the child.”
Teachers serve as the guiding force in a student’s life. They are responsible for molding a student’s personality and shaping his/her mental orientation. Teachers deeply impact our lives and direct the course of our future. One cannot deny the influence of teachers in one’s life. In fact, it would not be an exaggeration to say that, till a certain age, out life revolves around our teachers. They are our constant companions, until we grow old enough to come out of their shadow and move ahead on our own.
The behavior of the teacher can be detrimental or beneficial to a child’s motivational process. A study conducted by Patrick, Hisley, and Kempler (2000) from Goucher College proved that teacher enthusiasm does affect student intrinsic motivation. In the analysis, the level of teacher eagerness was manipulated to observe the participant’s motivation and interest after a brief lecture. The changes in the address included tone of voice, hand gestures, and facial expressions. Participants that heard the more energetic l...
