The important role motivation plays in effective learning.

Today we reminded ourselves of the important role motivation plays in effective learning. After reading the ISU Why Sheet on Motivation we discussed Autonomy, Mastery and Purpose in more depth and thought about how best to support learning from home through these three core principles of motivation. Key points from our discussion include:

  • The amazing natural capacity young children have to learn and how they are naturally motivated. 
  • Our relationships and emotions are related to our motivation and our ability to learn.
  • Authoritative parenting and a democratic home environment give children the warmth and structure required to achieve optimal success in learning.
  • The importance of adults modelling good learning/working habits, and aiming to inspire rather than control.
