What’s the biggest source of strength for a student who therefore gains confidence to move ahead towards the acme of prosperity? Books and teachers are no doubt the most influential factors that help students become knowledgeable. However, when it comes to acquiring confidence towards building a thriving future, there can be nothing valuable in comparison to motivation.

Stop Criticising and Rebuking

Just think what students want today; may be some encouraging words, some positive feedbacks or some care and concern towards them. Don’t you think they want us to feel proud about them? Well, it doesn’t take much to shower criticisms, rebukes and discouraging remarks on them. But do these things stand effective in making a student realise his/her potential? The answer is a big NO.

Motivation is a huge source of instilling vitality into one’s learning spirits. No matter how frustrated, how short-tempered or how pessimistic a student is, there must be someone or rather some wise strategies that would help one stay motivated towards his/her career goals. So, here are a few of those strategies that would surely work wonders in keeping students inspired throughout their careers. Have a look:

• What’s the Subject of Interest – Remember, where there is interest, there will be a desire to learn and know more and where there will be a desire, there will be curiosity, which will actually motivate one to proceed. So, what is important is to understand the aspects that will keep students indulged for a long time. Once students start taking interest in their activities, they would be gradually inspired in the process.

• What’s the Source of Discouragement – To help students identify their pitfalls, it’s very important to first find out what exactly is obstructing them in meeting their career goals. There must not be anything that would make students discouraged, and if there is something, teachers must take the initiative to find it out.

• Encourage them and don’t criticise – To err is human and this cannot lead to criticisms. If one takes the effort to bring good scores, appreciation must follow. Instead, if one criticises a students, he/she would never feel the desire to make improvements. So, pointing out mistakes in a pleasant tone will always be a wise initiative.

• Keep an Eye on their Potentials – If one wins a 100 metre race but scores low in Mathematics, it does not mean that he/she does not have the potential to study. Of course, just like the way you will inspire him/her to do well on the fields, it would be your responsibility to ensure that the individual does the same for his/her subjects.

• Take Out Quality Time for them – Time is a necessity that you must invest for your students. There might be some of them who have been trying to express some serious issues to someone they can rely upon. Whether those issues relate to their studies or their families, you need to hear them and bring solutions, and then only they would feel motivated to step on the right track.

So, you see why motivation is necessary for each and every student in today’s world. Just keep the determination alive within you that you will give your heart and soul to keep your students motivated. At the end, it’s you who would be rewarded.
