What drives learners? <br \/>\nOften, we expect our learners to share our enthusiasm for a topic, and they just do not seem to muster or exude the same level of excitement. Sometimes they do not even show up!<br \/>\n<br style=\"clear:both;\">\n<\/p>\n<p>Motivation is a complex topic that has been studied in many contexts and has many variables. However, there are a few things we can do to make stronger connections for students to motivate them to learn.\n<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li> Motivation can determine, direct, and sustain what students do to learn. Consider the acronym <b>WIIFM<\/b> (what\u2019s in it for me?). You can use WIIFM as a helpful lens to think about your students. After you have ascertained their prior knowledge, you are better able to frame new learning in the context of their experiences and past learning.\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li> Always consider <b>why<\/b> your learners would be interested in learning something. What is the relevance for them? How will it connect to future activities in their course or beyond? This may mean shifting your understanding of why students are enrolled in your course.  They might not be there to learn for learning\u2019s sake, but perhaps to further their employability trajectory, for instance. We should not pander to this, but it is important to be mindful of the different motivations for learning, and attempt to find creative ways to make learning meaningful for every student.\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- \nNewPP limit report\nCPU time usage: 0.027 seconds\nReal time usage: 0.040 seconds\nPreprocessor visited node count: 176\/1000000\nPreprocessor generated node count: 1226\/1000000\nPost\u2010expand include size: 5591\/2097152 bytes\nTemplate argument size: 3091\/2097152 bytes\nHighest expansion depth: 7\/40\nExpensive parser function count: 0\/100\n--><\/p>\n<p><!-- Saved in parser cache with key we_en-mw_:pcache:idhash:187257-0!*!*!*!*!2!* and timestamp 20201117013513 and revision id 1079387\n -->\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"visualClear\"><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col-md-12\">\n<ul class=\"pager\">\n<li class=\"previous\">\n            <a href=\"\/nzext101\/learning-pathways\/teacher-for-learning\/t4l-activity-3\">\u2190 Previous<\/a>\n          <\/li>\n<li class=\"next\">\n            <a href=\"\/nzext101\/learning-pathways\/teacher-for-learning\/t4l-activity-4\">Next \u2192<\/a>\n          <\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<footer><\/footer>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201c If you have discipline, drive, and determination, nothing is impossible. \u201d \u2014Dana Linn Bailey \u2190 Previous Next \u2192<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":13,"featured_media":0,"parent":2095,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-2113","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/course.oeru.org\/nzext101\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2113","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/course.oeru.org\/nzext101\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/course.oeru.org\/nzext101\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/course.oeru.org\/nzext101\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/13"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/course.oeru.org\/nzext101\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2113"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/course.oeru.org\/nzext101\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2113\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2114,"href":"https:\/\/course.oeru.org\/nzext101\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2113\/revisions\/2114"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/course.oeru.org\/nzext101\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2095"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/course.oeru.org\/nzext101\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2113"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
