Some time its become very difficult to engage the students in study. Specially when they are assigned to complete their home work. What are the better ways/Methods to motivate them in lower classes like secondary or Higher secondary classes.
So far Higher Secondary is concerned in India, the syllabus is tough. Parents have to help their children as far as they can so that they can carry out the studies smoothly. They should not be forced to study all the time. Good students usually devote required time to carry out their studies. For mediocre or weak students teachers can play a great role by teaching them in an interesting way so that they can be motivated to study with pleasure.

We have published most of the results here:
