How do I motivate my pupils?
Why are some pupils more motivated to learn than others? How can you motivate them? The third episode of the video series «12 impulses for teachers» centres on needs analysis.
Why are some children so enthusiastic in class, while others sit listlessly in their desks? And how can learning motivation be influenced? In this episode, psychologists Stefanie Rietzler and Fabian Grolimund address these questions - far removed from reward and punishment systems or specific teaching methods.
