Motivating students

 In my comprehension, I think motivating students is just rewarding their effort or reinforcing what they have done. After seeing the official evaluation, I know rewarding and reinforcing are just the part of motivating. Besides teachers should pay attention on those students who aren’t active, once they give some feedback teachers need to show more concern for encouraging them become more confident and positive in the class. Evaluator mentioned that the teacher doesn’t connect the concept of how the finding the area of a circle could be used in the students’ lives. It makes me understand the true meaning of motivating students, sometimes it means give a stimulation to students for sparking their thoughts or what they have learned. Also motivating can remind students how to connect what they are learning with their experience. This would make knowledge become meaningful to their cognition and stay longer time in students’ mind.
