Imagine a world where students rush home to get started on their assignments as soon as possible. They don't miss their classes, turn in work on time, and look forward to the next part of "homework" ...
No, this is not a parallel reality or an ideal school. This is proper motivation and a creative approach.
Homework is something that the vast majority of students dislike. Answering questions of the same kind, solving problems, making proposals, what can be more boring than this routine? And all this is repeated from year to year! Not surprisingly, many students are simply not interested in doing their homework.
But homework doesn't have to be boring! There are many ideas to help motivate students to do their homework.
In this publication I will present 5 effective methods to motivate students to do their homework.
1. Offer a choice
Give students the freedom to choose whenever possible. Do you need to write an essay? Suggest a list of topics and give the children a chance to decide for themselves what to write about.
Of several options, the student will probably be able to choose the one that best suits his own interests, and the probability that the neighbor will cheat will be minimal.
2. Encourage creativity
Sometimes creative projects become great motivators and make routine tasks very interesting for students.
Ask the children to do their homework in any form, whether it is a cartoon strip, a poem, a story, or a small sketch to show in class.
Think of a task that children will be happy to do, and it will open up to your students from a completely different side. Trust me, they will go out of their way to impress you and your classmates.
3. Customize assignments
Personalizing learning is another way to increase student interest in homework. Children will be much more interested in doing their homework, which means something to them.
Give students the opportunity to connect real life and personal interests with what they are learning and their motivation will literally skyrocket.
4. Consider the interests of the students.
How to get students interested in homework? Incorporate what they already know! For example, if most of your class is involved in sports, find out how to integrate sports into your assignments.
If homework increases a skill that is very important to a student, then you will do your best to complete it efficiently and on time.
5. make students think
Allow students to “discover” their homework. Give them a chance to think for themselves, explore different ideas, and extract information from other resources.
Non-standard assignments contribute to the development of critical thinking and will be excellent motivators for students.
