I was wondering if anyone had any ideas on how to motivate students who do not want to particpate in activities? How do make the activity enjoyable enough for the student to take part in it and try? |

What sort of activity? What is the student's strengths/weaknesses? Class size? |

Well my suggestion for motivation for students would be heart rate monitors. Use heart rate monitors to access them. Make them have to stay in their heart rate for a certain time. All you have to do is give them a game of some sort like basketball, hockey, football, and average out the time they are playing the game and cut it in half and use that as motivation. Give them points for staying in their heart rate zone for 15 minutes in a 30 minute period of being active. |

Effectively motivating pupils is often a difficult task, especially with large class sizes. One of the best methods I have found, is to just sit with the pupils and ask them for feedback and suggestions. Once they are aware that they have to participate, hopefully they will suggest what activities they are interested in. Give the pupils some "control" and make them apart of the learning process. This will instill motivation right across the class. I hope these suggestions will be of use. |
