Motivation strategies play a significant role in the learning process. By knowing and handling the elements that move people, we will be better prepared for making them be motivated and motivate ourselves to learn.
It is important that the student has clearness and coherence about the learning goal as well as interest for learning, and disposition for assuming the challenge that it represents. – Adrian G. Cottin
1. – What’s in it for me?
People are usually wondering: What’s in it for me? It is especially important that the Facilitator lets the Learning Partner (LP) the relevance and benefits they will obtain from learning.
2. – Develop a sense of personal responsibility:
We believe every person is responsible of their own learning. Nevertheless, it is the Facilitator’s duty to create an environment where the learning could occur and encourage a consciousness about that responsibility.
3. – Structure the experience with practical application:
The milestone of the Learning Experience (LE) is our LPs’ strong perception that what is learned has a practical application in their jobs, at home or any other aspect of their lives. On the contrary, the eventual loss of interest in the content will be unavoidable.
4. – Recognition, stimulation, and approval:
Recognize positive conducts is one of the most powerful motivational tools to be used by a Facilitator. Rewards, no matter how small, or the public recognition of the positive contributions, will stimulate our LPs to keep on participating and actively involving in the LE.
5. – Stimulate the competence of being competent:
The positive competence makes the LPs compare against themselves. When we compete against ourselves, we focus on learning what is helpful to improve, before looking to beat others. The positive competence is the competence of being competent, not the competence to compete against anyone else.
6. – Being motivated:
It is impossible to give something we do not have; therefore, an unmotivated facilitator will hardly create a Motivational Atmosphere to the LPs. In the same way the facilitator shows an evident, genuine, and noticeable enthusiasm, s/he could motivate others.
7. – Make stronger personal relationships:
Stimulating personal exchange between the LPs contributes to establish an environment of cooperation and trust, making easier and more pleasant the labor of learning. On the other hand, a Facilitator closed to people, undressed from the know-it-all myth and always reachable, gives the LP the sensation of being a true “Partner” and not just a simple participant.
