My 1^st Reflection during MMSEL Class

Theoretical view of motivations

            Today’s meeting explained about theories of motivation, applying motivation in classroom context to improve students’ willingness in studying and classroom management for productive learning environment.

            Motivation is like doping that strength someone smoothly to get all things that he / she want to reach in a life. In school context, motivation can determine students whether they can obtain something meaningful or useless from learning process in the classroom.

            Teachers should facilitate them to boost up students’ motivation because motivation itself comes from internal of students (Intrinsic) or external of themselves (Extrinsic). Finally, when students have found their motivation, there will be learning process that meaningful and purposeful.

            Moreover, teachers should reflect into deep themselves, do they have done a right way to boost up students’ motivation, if some student does not achieve the objectives of learning in their classes or topics that they taught. Example: Probably students have strong intrinsic motivation to learn mathematical science because they like count, however the educator of math is too serious, firm and rigid in presenting the subject, this condition absolutely can defeat the intrinsic motivation of students so that they do not like the class or even the teacher.

            We as the educator should advance students’ motivation because it can create positive attitudes and atmospheres during learning process.
