Motivating Students To Learn

by Jere Brophy

Written specifically for teachers, this book offers a wealth of research-based principles for motivating students to learn. Its focus on motivational principles rather than motivation theorists or theories leads naturally into discussion of specific classroom strategies. Throughout the book these principles and strategies are tied to the realities of contemporary schools (e.g., curriculum goals) and classrooms (e.g., student differences, classroom dynamics). The author employs an eclectic approach to motivation that shows how to effectively integrate the use of extrinsic and intrinsic strategies. Guidelines are provided for adapting motivational principles to group and individual differences and for doing "repair work" with students who have become discouraged or disaffected learners.

Nice intro to all the motivation research, written as a guide for teachers or as a get-up-to-speed-quickly reference for academics.

How to motivate students? That is an age-old question. Brophy tackles that problem in this book. Without motivation, students simply won't learn. Interesting read.

I need to reread this. I constantly am stuck at motivating my students.

In the initial chapters there was an illuminative overview of the psychological concepts behind motivation. However the latter half of the book was unnecessary and more of recapitulation of the previously discussed points.
