4th Reflection

At meeting on November 6, 2012. We discuss three materials; there are The Influence of Beliefs on Motivation to Learn, The Influence of Goals, Interest and Emotion on Motivation to Learn and Class structure, Self-regulated Learners and Teacher Characteristics. The three materials are presented by using different way. There are Kepo Quiz, presidential and vice presidential selections and Drama musical.

Then we also discuss Instructional Variables: Developing Interest in Learning Activities. We asked one by one to give instruction about one topic mathematics, like we introduce the material to be learned on the day. We study how to introducing a material that can make student interest in the material. I can conclude that in order to create student interest in the material, we connect the material to real life. For example Trigonometry, we invite students outside of the classroom to discussion how to measure the flagpole using Trigonometry without us having measure directly, then we can measure the trees in the school using Trigonometry too.

As teachers have to be creative to make students interest in learning activities or material so that students are motivated to learn.
