The topic of chapter 6 of How People Learn II: Learners, Contexts, and Cultures, is motivation and what students need to be motivated to learn. The infographic to the right hits a few key points of the chapter.
The first section talks about beliefs and values that motivate or help motivate students when it comes to learning.
The second section highlights the importance of goals. Understanding our students’ goals, whether short-term and easily achievable or long-term goals, may require more work. We need to remember that while our students are with us for a short while, that time is used developing the needed skills to reach their goals.
The last section touches on how society and cultures influence motivation. Social influences have a significant impact on students and what they find interesting. Although not all students have the same idea of what is interesting, it is essential to find ways to connect with them and help them become more engaged in less interesting lessons.
The ISTE student standard that goes along with this would be 1.5.d Computational Thinker- Algorithmic Thinking. Students understand how automation functions and utilize algorithmic reasoning to create and assess automated solutions.
