Motivation

Repeated success generates expectancy at increasingly deeper levels. As this happens, we construct narratives to explain and give meaning to these recurring emotional experiences (Motivated Teaching, Peps Mccrea, 2020).

A good idea is to ramp up the difficulty of the task so as to secure success early in the lesson.  In general, it is said that students should be able to look back on a success rate of at least 80%

To achieve this, you may:

• Pitch learning precisely. Provide experiences that are challenging yet achievable for as many students as possible.

• Chunk skills at optimal granularity. Break ideas and processes down so they can be learned in small parts before building it back up.
