Students are indeed predisposed to lack motivation in school for a variety of reasons. (Ford, 2002) If students feel they are not capable of success, they will not
perform. Belief in one’s ability and one’s effort are equally
necessary antecedents to successful academic student achievement. (Ford, 2002)
ANALYSIS AND FINDINGS
Hindered due to sleep?Lack of motivation or desire?Are they not prepared?When the task is not an integral component of a
student’s life, or if, in effect, it is not important to the student, amotivation may result. (LeGault, Pelletier, Green-Demeers, 2006).
Content needs to be relevant. The classroom content should strive to foster students’ intrinsic motivation. (Ford, 2002).
Instructors should try and plan activities based on relevant topics. (Ford, 2002).
FACTORS PREVENTING STUDENT ENGAGEMENT
Revise the format of the classImplement student led modules based on NGSS, KCC
and WKU StandardsFlip to a more digital format (Google Docs)Increased rigor
GENERAL CONCERNS WITH THE FORMAT OF THE CLASS
Initial Study
Why decline in motivation?What prevents engagement?Two years of data showed
ninth grade outperform tenth grade
Ninth grade study more than tenth grade
Extension Study
Does block lend itself academic success?
Two years of data do not show an overall increase
Eleventh grade students are not outperforming ninth grade students
More research is needed
