Problem

A common problem presented to teachers by parents is a concern with their child’s low attainment and a struggle to motivate them to study at home. This results in parents embedding rewards and sanctions to try to motivate their child to study, however, extrinsic motivation strategies support some students to work effectively, but fail to motivate the majority to reach their full potential, as they need to be innately driven.

Solution

Students who are intrinsically motivated are more likely to reach their full potential as they will put more effort into their learning. Embedding intrinsic motivation strategies into the teaching in the classroom and at home by parents, can significantly improve student attainment. Teachers can collaborate with parents and inform them of effective intrinsic motivation strategies that can be used to support their child’s motivation towards their learning.
