The article “Project-Based Instruction: A Great Match for Informational Texts” by Nell K. Duke, discusses the concept of implementing project based learning and how it can markedly improve student’s education. According to Duke, project based instruction involves “working over an extended time period for a purpose beyond satisfying a school requirement” (Duke 2016). This includes doing projects in order to “build something, to create something, to respond to a question [students] have, or to solve a real problem” (Duke 2016). The article maintains the benefits of this type of instruction and includes specific examples of how it can be implemented in the school curriculum and Common Core State Standards. Duke also emphasizes how the projects should serve a real- life purpose so students can feel more engaged knowing their work will be seen by
Another way to build student motivation and engagement is to give them real world problems to solve. By doing this, natural conflict arises, and students have to work together in order to resolve the conflict and continue developing a solution to the problem. When this happens, students learn so much about the problem they are trying to solve, but they also learn skills that will help them become successful in life.

Healthcare organizations (HCOs) are in the business of providing quality care, while reducing cost and meeting various guidelines and regulations. Therefore, it is necessary that HCOs monitor, measure, and evaluate the performance of their organization. Balanced scorecards is a tool that is used in healthcare to monitor organization performance by focusing on indicators that affect performance. A balanced scorecard was created and implemented at a clinic at the Oregon Health and Science University Family Medicine. The article “Performance Enhancement Using a Balanced Scorecard in a Patient-centered Medical Home” discusses how the balanced scorecard was developed, how it was used, and how it improved performance.
Answer: As a new teacher, I feel the most impactful strategy to motivate my students to develop an interest in their learning is to develop their self-assessment skills. For example, I would implement this strategy by providing instructions that are easy to understand. Progress through each step to get them familiar with the assignment. Based on feedback, I would revisit steps to ensure students are on target. To close the lesson, I would require my students to prepare a journal entry that document what they intended to do, what they
For years, researchers have debated whether phonics or whole-word recognition is the best way to teach children how to read. Various experts can be found who will advocate one approach or the other. Ask an astute first-grade teacher, though, and the answer is likely to be that it depends on

them experience success. Gambrell (2011) found that even though teachers may use these external motivators, they are not effective when teaching students intrinsic motivation. Students appear to internalize teacher praise when the students have a trusting relationship with the teacher. Even young children can be taught skills by giving them choices to create the intrinsic
How To Succeed in Adult Learning Motivation Deep learners respond well to the challenge of controlling a difficult and complex issue. Intrinsic motivation often compliments this style. Strategic learners are motivated primarily by rewards. They try to make the best grade, but only if they can see a clear reward to it. Often the competition and the opportunity to beat others is all the reward need, mainly extrinsic motivated. Surface learners are often motivated by a desire to avoid failure. This learning style does just what need for each assignment and moves along to the next, never wanting to be the best but is happy with a passing grade. Most often there motivation is a mixture of intrinsic and extrinsic. This dash is often in dispute with the learner motivation is the most likely not to deliver the goods.
My 7 week performance improvement programme (PIP) was designed at improving my performance for a 4km run. Before this class I hadn't completed or heard much about performance programmes, so I was unsure on what it was and how it was going to help me improve my technique and 4km run time. I went into the programme having high beliefs that it would help me to improve as my teacher swears by it, if completed correctly. I believe my teacher because I feel as though she has experience in PIP. As I know she is heavily involved in crossfit and has personally participated in a PIP. She also set out a PIP for her year 13 class last year and it had a positive outcome on all the students.I also believe the PIP will help me to improve as it allows my body
You have had many opportunities to improve your overall performance. Last marching season you have made many improvements over the months. There are also many things like watching better or keeping in time with your feet. Little details like those will improve your overall performance immensely. By doing those little things you would be able to know how to help new member in band because you have been there yourself. You may be able to tell them that there feet are not in time or to play louder if needed. Your section leader was not the best but you had steped up over the week days that you did not have band. You practiced and practiced until you had got the music down and you have the correct marching style. You had stepped up and showed
Intrinsic motivation Young children are compelled to learn because of their natural curiosity in life. Older children seem to need a push in the direction to learn. This describes the two types of motivation. Intrinsic motivation describes the young child. It is motivation from within and

The components of S-RL involves, as all the other terms, setting goals for learning, focus on training, using strong strategies to organize ideas, looking for researches effectively, managing performance and time, holding positive beliefs about one‟s capabilities (Schunk & Ertmer, 2000). There are tasks that makes Learners more autonomous, being capable of create an environment of S-RL, some of them are authentic strategies, autonomy-based assignments, and portfolios. Self-Regulated Learners don‟t only need to understand the strategies but realize the importance of using them to achieve success. Self-Regulation processes focus on how learners can manage their feelings and motivations to learn. It can be improve with
“If you can motivate students, they are more likely to participate in activities and less likely to get off task and contribute to disorder. An effective classroom manager deliberately plans for ways to motivate students. Motivation is one important part of effective classroom management” (Burden, 2013, p. 116). A student really needs to know themselves, value themselves, plan, act, and experience outcomes (Liberty University, (n.d). Therefore, I teach my students self – determination and I also use praise, which has great power. When they learn, are praised and eventually see what they are capable of, they are more motivated to want to do their absolute best.
