The idea that it is a certain mark-threshold that drives student motivation really enforced something that I speak about in my work context. I'm involved with the Canadian Education Association's project called What did you do in school today? and the idea of encouraging students to be INTELLECTUALLY engaged in their learning is key in this initiative. And the factors we identify that impact intellectual engagement are relevance and motivation - your presentation really speaks to this. We always say you can have an A student who isn't at all intellectually engaged even though they have fulfilled and excelled in their homework and assignment requirements. Your presentation has really provided an insightful tool for educators to think about how learning can be altered to increase relevance and motivation. I'm going to share this blog post with my colleagues! Thanks so much!Cailey Crawfordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14661202587265576365noreply@blogger.com
