Give ways on how you will motivate your students.
o As a pre-service teacher, I view motivation in learning as the internal
drive and willingness that propels a student toward engaging with a nd
persisting through educational tasks. It's the engine of learning,
determining effort and focus. To motivate my future students, I will
employ several strategies: first, I'll establish relevance by connecting
lessons to their lives and future goals; sec ond, I'll build confidence
through scaffolding and providing opportunities for early success; and
third, I'll offer students choice and autonomy in projects, which
empowers them to take ownership of their learning.
2. Explain Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs and how you can apply it to
the teaching profession.
o Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs is a psychological theory presenting human
needs in a five-tier model, often depicted as a pyramid, with the most
fundamental needs at the base. These levels start wit h Physiological
(e.g., food, rest), followed by Safety (security, stability), then Love and
Belonging (friendship, connection), then Esteem (achievement, respect),
culminating in Self-Actualization (realizing one's full potential) at the
apex. In the teaching profession, I must apply this by first addressing
the foundational needs: ensuring students have their basic physiological
and safety needs met (e.g., a warm classroom, clear expectations, and a
bully-free environment) before expecting high -level learning. Only once
these lower needs are met can students focus on belonging, confidence,
and ultimately, self-actualization through academic discovery.
3. Compare and contrast extrinsic and intrinsic motivation. Give
examples in of each type of motivation to be used in teaching.
o Extrinsic and intrinsic motivation are two distinct types of drive.
Extrinsic motivation refers to engaging in a task or behavi or to earn an
external reward or avoid punishment; the drive comes from outside the
individual. An example in teaching is offering stickers, extra credit, or a
pizza party (the reward). In contrast, intrinsic motivation refers to
engaging in a task purely for internal satisfaction, enjoyment, or
interest; the reward is the activity itself. An example in teaching is
allowing students to choose a research topic they are personally
passionate about or giving them time for "passion projects" that feed
their natural curiosity. While both can be effective, intrinsic motivation
leads to deeper, more sustained learning.
