To parent’s, education is the most important thing for their son or daughter to succeed in life become successful. Parents send their kids to school with the intention that their kids are safe and are learning valuable things. From the moment that their son/daughter go into kindergarten from the moment they graduate high school, parents believe that the school has prepared them well to be off on their own in the real world. Although, that doesn’t seem to be the case in every students’ life. Students are taught from the moment they start school to not speak out of turn, raise their hands if something is needed, aim to be the top student of their class, do as the teacher has said, no questions asked, walk in a straight line, and never fail.

Motivation starts at such an early age, that schools slowly start taking that away from them because they aren’t truly allowed to think outside the box. Each student is expected to learn what is being taught in front of the classroom and memorize it for the next couple of years. Each kid is born with a unique gift, but many aren’t able to show them in a classroom because there are rules to be follow and cannot be broken. There isn’t a single person in this planet that has the same brain as any other human being in this planet. Each student requires different attention compared to others. By treating each student, the same way with the same expectations as a student can easily meet, can lead to low self-stem and lower their expectations on …show more content…
Students start losing interest in school, it becomes a routine of going to school for eight hours, sit in a classroom with another 20 to 30 students, listen to teacher teach up front in the classroom, get a 30-minute break, continue to learn what has been taught in the previous years, take notes, study, and take test to prove how much that student has grown. All these becomes a routine and it’s something that students get tired of and start wanting to do more than just in a class, do as the teacher says and try to the get highest grades in class. Students are trapped in a system that doesn’t give students many choices to prove themselves who they are and what they are capable of truly doing. By telling a 7-year-old what they can do and con not do, stops them from finding a solution on their own and believe that they may not be as smart as the other kids. Each student has its own weakness, its own strengths, and each one requires different attention and help towards helping them
A abundant amount of high school students in the world don’t completely remember what they’re taught or how it’s being taught to them before they leave for college or begin their career. One of the reasons why students don’t understand is because they think they’ll obtain humiliation for not being strong or as intelligent in that class. Multiple students misconstrue in school because of embarrassment. Another reason why students might not get the education they need is due to the families financial status in their country. Not all countries are as rich as the U.S., so it makes it not as affordable for them to even have one school. Students not getting an education can be caused by them misunderstanding what they’re being taught. The way that the teacher explains it might not be enough for the students to understand what they’re being taught.
especially when it starts to affect their motivation to focus in school, and efficiency with homework along with tests. Therefore, making it impossible for kid’s to continue focusing on school work which starts causing them to fail thus, decreasing their motivation to want to stay and complete
Contrary to this belief, if a child enters a grade regardless of whether or not they are ready harmful effects on their development will occur and have lasting results. This is because when a student reaches the end of the school year and does not have a sturdy understanding of what was taught, future schooling will only result in the same outcome. Holding back a student is not harmful, instead, putting them in an environment where they are being set up to fail academically is in fact detrimental to their mental growth. So, holding back a student is not negative to their development, but is a way to reassure that the student is entirely ready to move on and learn new
It is first important to understand how motivation works in the classroom. There are infinite procedures teachers use to achieve desired effects from their students, but there are general patterns these motivational tools follow. In order for teachers to communicate with their students, they must identify with their needs on an individual basis (Gawel, 1997). This proposal is much akin to Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs, which states five basic needs that must be met in order to achieve full motivation. These needs, in ascending order, are as follows: physiological, security, love and belongingness, esteem and self-respect, and self-actualization (Gawel, 1997). Each of these needs details a very important issue in motivation inside the classroom and out.
Education is meant to be the key to a successful life. It is supposed to inspire great ideas, and prepare each and every generation for their future. However, school for today 's generation fails to meet those requirements. Every student knows education is important, but when school is not engaging or in some cases, even relevant, it makes learning difficult. Improving the school system is something educators attempt to accomplish every year. Despite their best efforts, there are numerous flaws students see, but adults overlook. There is a lack of diversity for students to learn, an overabundance of testing, and students’ voices are being ignored on how to create a more productive learning experience.
The problem that most students run into is their attitude toward school, they think school is a waste of time. Almost every students don’t like school, they think do homework and go to school is not the best way to live their life. This is the attitude that will not help them in school if they want to learn. Students can fix this attitude if they want to change their way of seeing school. First what they have to do is change all of their thought such as, school is a waste of time, I can do
Theorists believe that motivation within the classroom has its benefits when able to produce work from students. Some students have the ability to work without much motivation. This is known as intrinsic motivation. Intrinsic motivation is where students are able to motivate themselves and produce work at high standard. The students have to be determined to strive and have the self-ability to do the work that is needed (Brewer, Dun, Olszewski, 1988). Students who need more praise and encouragement to produce work come under the category of extrinsic motivation. Extrinsic motivation is about rewarding the students for their work. If a student is able to get done what they have been asked, they will be rewarded with for example a sticker or a lucky dip. Extrinsic motivation for some students means the reward is...
Student motivation can be affected by several factors. These elements include parent involvement, teacher enthusiasm, rewards, peers, the learner’s environment, personal experiences, personal interests of the student, and self-esteem and self-image.
Having an awareness of what it takes for the child to be successful is half the battle. What will really push a child is when parents recognize that they must also take on an incremental mindset. Children are directly influenced by their parents attitudes and how children interpret them will effect how capable and how much children learn (Ames and Archer, 1987). This is where Parent and Student Education (P.A.C.E) program is intended to not only enrich the understanding of how children develop over the life span, but also how to apply it on a daily basis. These studies have sculpted the foundation for which P.A.C.E was developed for, and addresses the valuable implications that can assist parents and educators in promoting a nurturing environment for children to thrive
Having explained the reason most children have become disheartened at the thought of school, I now turn my attention to the students who do realize school’s educational value. These are the students that will continue to prosper throughout their lives because they realize the extreme importance of education. There is a secret, yet not so secret, motivation behind their determination to exceed standards and expectations in school. The secret they withhold is their overwhelming desire to be successful in the future.
