I learned that it's important to really show your passion to students to help motivate them and be successful.
Use your own enthusiasm and experience to help draw the learner to the subject and keep them engaged in the learning experience.
Motivate students by engaging them.
This module taught me that I have a responsibility in engaging and motivating my students. Knowing the content is great, but a true educator is able to help motivate their students to really understand and utilize that information.
Just as empathy is critical in the field of nursing, it is important in the field of nursing education. I will be working to get to know my students' stories to help them feel included and cared for as they work their way through our program.
Motivaging students through reinforcement, keeping the concept of learning positive, motivates and encouages the learner as if all scored work will need to be 100%, Leads the student to work for the higher goals of self-reflection. Motivating through retention enables them to learn, store, retrieve & apply this new information. This will allow student to succeed based on application in the "Ah Ha" moment as they see what they learn is intergrated into their careers. This results in their transference of skills learned are now applied increaseing the learning pathways.
Knowing your students is vital; involve them with/from their life learned skills; create an environment where they want to take risks. keeping this true intrinsic motivation at amaximum level. Witnessing where students move from being students to contributors reaching their goals of their course of studies.
I have learned that motivating your students is good on a daily bases. Some students need help in building the self-esteem and believing they are able to succeed in new challenges in their life.

letting the students know that we all make mistakes and it is ok. Establishing trust and empathy will help motivate the students to be more engaged in the class
I liked the section on motivation and how to keep students motivated. I thought it was interesting about point values and extra credit. Students will work harder for bonus points or when it is worth 100 points instead of 10.
I learned that in order for students to be motivated, you must have a positive attitude and be motivated in your teaching as well, and through that approach it can rub off on the students outlooks. Looking forward to focusing on this in the future.
Students do want to know you are an expert, and you want them to be also.
Students really respond to the level of enthusiasm that the instructor has. If you clearly want to be there, they are more likely to want to be there!
students mirror the emotions of the instructor, that is if the instructor is excited and demonstrates this excitement then students will follow. as instructors we cannot expect students to do these things on their own, they need to be motivated and the modeling from the instructor is so important
Teachers can motivate their students by 1. knowing the subject, 2. knowing the students, 3. creating a safe learning environment, and 4. transcending the message. We do this by offering expertise, empathy, enthusiasm, and clarity. Clarity means good preparation and organization. We should create opportunities for the students to have mnemonic memory building activities (hands on learning) and tie it back to the episodic theoretical learning. That creates a working memory which translates to students becoming contributers to society rather than merely students learning for nothing.
I learned that motivating your students is important to program success. All students depend on instructor enthusciasum. Students learn through our interest & experience.
if your are excited about the material you are teaching, the student will follow suit!
About the important on retention in Learning!
I appreciated finding ways to inspire and ignite students' interrnal motivation for learning. The "Student Motivation Enhancers" of reinforcemnt, retention, and transference gave me practical suggestions for keeping students engaged in the learning process.
In this section I learned that being a good teacher means having a combination of skill that effectively help you teach your students by being enthusiastic and engaged.
