This week find out how you can encourage students to persist with learning and engage with metacognitive strategies when they make mistakes.  Dr Maria Tulis talks about her experiments that aimed to find a causal link between beliefs about errors, how these beliefs maintain motivation and how students then adapt their actions to effectively analyse and correct errors. In study two during learning students were given encouragement to persist and prompts about what action to take immediately after they had made the error. Might this increase persistence, metacognitive control and effort? What are the implications for our classrooms?  Paper and link: Tulis M, Dresel M.

In this episode of the Celebrate Kids podcast, Dr. Kathy considers gamifying learning for students. She explores using technology and addictive platforms to inspire students to learn difficult subjects. However, she also addresses parents' concerns about limiting their children's screen time and protecting them from potentially harmful online communities. One community is called Roblox and they've developed a new program being implemented in some schools that aims to combine virtual gaming with educational content. Dr. Kathy shares her insights and provides encouragement for parents and educators. 

I remember when I first had my babies,  I was astounded at how much they practiced. Without me doing anything to encourage them!When they learned to use their voice they would lie in their cot and experiment with slides and sounds. When they learned to roll they would roll at any opportunity, when learning to crawl they kept practicing, same with walking, and talking and so on. So why on earth does this change as we get older?To be honest, I haven't got a clue but it did spark my interest in motivation and so when I saw this study on motivational interventions, I was keen to see if there was anything that might be useful for us in motivating our students. https://performingartspd.com/motivating-students/Thanks for listening!

Specifications Based Grading redefines the relationship between grades and learning outcomes. Claire was inspired by Linda Nilson, who has written the seminal book on the topic with the subtitle, “Restoring Rigor, Motivating Students and Saving Faculty Time.” With Specifications Based Grading, students are given clearly defined learning outcomes and transparency about how to earn each letter grade. There are three parts to specs grading that can be used together or separately: 1) a pass/fail scale for each assignment, 2) virtual ‘tokens' that students can use for redoing assignments or submitting late work, 3) assignments are organized in bundles and completion of bundles determines final letter grades. Your students won't freak out. Remember, this is about “Restoring Rigor, Motivating Students and Saving Faculty Time”!Ruth's mind was blown and Claire is going to report back in the future about how it goes for her in practice. Claire mentions: Specifications Grading: Linda B.

In this special episode, Katie talks with two prominent UT professors, Drs. Mary Neuburger and Oksana Lutsyshyna, and former students of theirs who together undertook a phenomenal investigative project in spring 2019 to examine and closely follow Ukrainian youth political engagement during the presidential election in which Volodymyr Zelensky ultimately won, beating incumbent Petro Poroshenko. The team discusses the fascinating process by which they began their research, connected with Ukrainian students via Skype (not Zoom!), and eventually traveled to Ukraine itself. The lasting relationships and connections they made during that memorable month abroad in early summer 2019 inform their thinking and processing of the War in Ukraine today.

On this episode, Stephanie and Katie talk with two excellent albeit very different teachers and European affairs experts, Lorinc Redei and Michael Mosser, on how they handle global conflicts, such as Putin's war in Ukraine, in the classroom. When is it important to provide space for discussion about major world events in a class setting? How should earth-shattering news be handled if it has nothing to do with the course syllabus or is in no way connected to the subject being studied? Mosser and Redei attempt to tackle such questions based on their own lived experiences. Thanks for joining us on the Other Side of Campus.

On this episode, Dixie and Stephanie talk with Dr. Miguel Pinedo from the College of Education. He focuses on studying the health implications of immigration policies on migrants residing on both sides of the US-Mexico border. Although a research-trained professor, in the classroom, Dr. Pinedo expounds on how he has developed practices to humanize his research to help students viscerally connect the data and findings to real life experiences. Thanks for joining us on The Other Side of Campus! ABOUT THE GUEST https://apps.jsg.utexas.edu/profiles/files/photos/miguel_pinedo_banuelos_3747_thumb.jpg Miguel Pinedo is an Assistant Professor in Department of Kinesiology and Health Education at The University of Texas at Austin. He has an invested interest in better understanding the intersection between migration and health. Though migrant health has become an important facet of health research, migration has rarely been examined as a social determinant of health. Pinedo's work addresses this critical area by focusing on how different migration experiences contribute to health disparities, particularly among Latino populations. Specifically, his work investigates how social- and structural-level factors associated with migration to the US; voluntary and forced migration (e.g., deportation); domestic migration within Mexico; and migration to high-risk environments (e.g., settings with increased availability of alcohol and drugs) relate to the epidemiology of substance abuse, HIV risk, and related harms. A large proportion of his work has focused on Mexican migrants residing on both sides of the US-Mexico border, a high-risk region for alcohol and drug abuse and HIV. Overall, his research underscores the importance of migration-related factors in shaping health behaviors, risk practices, and health outcomes. Prior to joining UT, Pinedo received his PhD in Global Health from the UC San Diego and completed his postdoctoral training at UC Berkeley. He also previously earned his Master in Public Health from UC Berkeley. PRODUCER'S NOTE: This episode was recorded on November 12th, 2021 via Zoom.

Hear it Here - http://bit.ly/effectiveteachingstevenson In a perfect world every person you worked with would be enthusiastic and ready to learn. Sadly, you won't always have that experience with students. So how can you know what motivates each student. Well, you can't. At least not instantly. It takes time to build a personal relationship with your pupils. As an educator, it's important to remember that while failure is not an option, it is a natural part of the learning process. Be aware that instructors who belittle the student after a failure will stamp out the desire to learn faster than anything else in this world. If you tell a person he or she is inadequate and too stupid to ever learn something or make fun of a person for a simple error, don't be surprised if that criticism becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. Remember, students aren't all cut from the same cloth. You might need to vary your teaching style to meet the needs of your learner. Extrinsic motivation flares up from an outside source, such as the need to eat and pay rent being the motivation for holding a steady job. On the other hand, intrinsic motivation comes from within.(xv) My intrinsic desire to breed and raise English Springer Spaniels, for example, is due to my undying love for the breed. So how do we encourage and increase a learner's intrinsic motivation. Think about providing students with the freedom of choice in selecting which learning style fits them best. Even if a child gets an answer wrong, praise them for putting in the effort it took to dare answering the question. It's important for students to understand, especially as they get older, why they are learning all this information you are sharing with them. https://www.audible.com/pd/B08V4Y8Y99/?source_code=AUDFPWS0223189MWU-BK-ACX0-233438&ref=acx_bty_BK_ACX0_233438_pd_us #ActiveStudents #AdultLearners #ChildrenVersusAdults #EffectiveTeaching #EncouragingStudentMotivation #ExperientialEducation #ExploratoryConversations #ExtrinsicMotivation #GunnarStevenson #IdealStudent #IndividualMotivation #InternalMotivation #IntrinsicMotivation #LearningDisabilities #LearningEnvironment #LearningStyle #MihalyCsikszentmihalyi #NegativeReinforcement #ProblemStudents #RequisiteKnowledge #SimpleActionableStrategies #IntrinsicDesire #StudentsMotivation #StudentsNeeds #StudentsSkillLevel #SuccessfulTeacher #RussellNewton #NewtonMG

Sometimes, we spend too much effort splitting hairs when grading. Perhaps, we need to take a more binary look at grading. Either the graded work meets the standards you set forth or it doesn’t. If it doesn’t, let’s provide detailed feedback and have students make the necessary improvement until it does. In this episode, I am going to break down specifications grading. This strategy was highlighted in Linda Nilson’s book, Specifications Grading: Restoring Rigor, Motivating Students, and Saving Faculty Time.

In this episode we are discussing motivating the students in our classrooms. As language teachers, we know that if students aren’t interested in the language we’re teaching, their progress will be stagnant, and their attitudes will affect the entire mood of the class. Motivation is at least as important as aptitude in acquisition. Today, I examine a theory of motivation, and how we can apply them in education settings. Science- and experienced teachers- tell us what works to get kids motivated and inspired in class. Then I talk to Australian teacher Simone Baluch, who shares tips and activities she uses to get her learners excited, curious, and attentive in class.

In this special guest Technique Tuesday, Adam Paltrowitz of the Choral Clarity blog, explains his 5 guidelines to follow when programming religious music with your public school ensemble. This is a very insightful episode that I hope will be food-for-thought for Choir Nation. Sponsored by the Choir Nation: Redirect summer conference in OKC, June 27-30. Listen [Player]   Show Notes 5 Guidelines discussed in the episode Always explain WHY we choose any piece of music. We need to facilitate group discussions regarding each composition with our choirs. We must always be sensitive to the backgrounds of the members of our choirs. We should be educating our audiences. We need to approach programming in a balanced manner. Bio Adam Paltrowitz is a master educator, composer, conductor, and clinician. He resides in Manhattan with his wife, Blair, who is a professional Broadway actress, and his beautiful daughter, Lyla. He is currently the Director of Choral Activities at Plainview-Old Bethpage John F. Kennedy High School, on Long Island, New York. During his eighteen year tenure, his groups have toured Europe, Canada, and throughout the United States. What makes his choirs unique is his belief that anyone can sing; as a result, his ensembles are always self-selected, while maintaining the highest standard of musical excellence. He also has pioneered a philosophy that every student is a soloist. All students in his choirs continually learn and perform solo repertoire in various languages. Mr. Paltrowitz' choral program has gained great acclaim for the cultivation of eight student-run a-cappella ensembles that have performed on national and local programs. Under his advisement, these talented students write their own a-cappella arrangements, teach and rehearse fully on their own, and perform in dozens of concerts throughout the year. This approach stems from the concept of student empowerment. Adam is well-known for leading workshops with current and future music educators on topics: Motivating Students to Exceed Expectations Creating a Positive Learning Environment Building a High School Choral Program Training the Soloist in the Choral Setting. As a guest conductor, Mr. Paltrowitz has conducted at numerous festivals and events for elementary, middle school, high school, college, adult, and senior citizen choirs. As a composer, Adam is focused on writing inspiring, yet accessible music that singers of all ages can relate to. Music is intended to evoke pure emotions from the singers and in turn, touch the audience. We sing because we want to communicate. We sing in a choir because we want to communicate together. Adam's music is intended to reach people through its clarity of thought, purity of emotion, and poetic beauty and word painting. His music has been performed throughout the country.

Professor David Putwain (Edge Hill University) gives a talk for the Department of Education public seminar series. A relatively common motivational strategy used by teachers, and others, prior to high-stakes examinations (such as the GCSE), is to communicate to students the negative consequence of failure for one’s subsequent life trajectory. This could include access to subsequent forms of education and training, entry to the labour market, and the impact on one’s sense of self-worth. When used in this way, to highlight the negative consequences of failure, and how these can be avoided, these communications are referred to as fear appeals. In this seminar, I will attempt to unpick the use of fear appeals as a motivational strategy and address the fundamental question of whether they are effective or not. Drawing on some of the studies conducted with colleagues I will focus on two key aspects: How fear appeals are understood by students and how they relate to key educational outcomes (including motivation, engagement and achievement).

Being a teacher motivating students is often a thankless, yet rewarding career. As public, private and charter schools develop creative teacher strategies to compete for enrollment based on curriculum that produces a quality education, the line marking effectiveness becomes blurred between traditional programs that teach the fundamentals and those that focus on specific outcomes, like career readiness.
