Encourage competence instead

Encourage the students to learn, perform and to compete on their own way. We can simply guide them.

It is a culture.

It must be built since childhood.

Encouraging your students to learn and enjoy education is one of the most important roles as a teacher, although it can also be one of the hardest. Here we take a look at the top 8 ways to motivate your students to help them achieve the most from your time in class with them.

1. Positive Competition

Creating healthy competition in a lesson is a great way to motivate your students and can encourage them to try harder. Have fun and use humour to invoke a healthy competitive spirit in the classroom, this could be by giving points or setting a small incentive so there is something to compete against each other for.

2. Create Varied Lesson Plans

It can be hard to show enthusiasm in a lesson if students are only ever doing the same thing as it becomes boring and predictable. To help improve motivation create varied lesson plans which will give your students something they can look forward to and get excited about. Trying new things is always a good way to peek someone’s interests, rather than repeating the same lesson plans mix it up and if you find that a new method works well you will be able to use this again, if not at least you will know for next time.

3. Offer Rewards

Rewards can be given to your students to provide a sense of achievement and help them work harder in class. This could be something as simple as a star sticker system, where so many stickers add up to a prize, pupil of the day award, or other incentives such as a chocolate bar or new pen.

4. Set Goals

Setting your students an attainable goal to reach will give them something to work towards which can be a good way to get them to work harder. Goals should be a challenge but should also be possible to reach so that it doesn’t deter the students by making them think it is too hard for them to achieve.

5. Be Enthusiastic

It is important to be enthusiastic about your lessons, after all if you don’t get excited about lessons then how can you expect your students to as well? Showing you are eager and ready to start the lesson with positive energy will give your whole class a boost and help them have more focus and motivation.

6. Know Your Students

Take the time to get to know all of your students, not just their names but their characters, strengths and weaknesses. This will help you plan lessons that cater for all your students as well as helping you create a better relationship with your class. Students are more likely to respect you and try hard in your lessons if they know you are genuinely interested in them as individuals.

7. Teamwork

Having students work in teams will help encourage a sense of camaraderie and competitive spirit which can increase motivation. Your class will be full of students that learn in different ways, pupils that learn better working in a group environment will have the chance to excel where they wouldn’t in a one on one class situation.

8. Mix Fun into the Lesson

Try to plan 15-20 minute periods of learning mixed up with fun activities, this way students with a short attention span won’t get distracted and disturb the rest of the class. It will also help students to enjoy lessons more, rather than being sat at their desks the whole time. They will have more motivation to get involved if they are enjoying a range of different activities.

Now you have our top 8 ways to motivate your students try each of them out in class and see which ones work best for you.

Most teachers are role model to students and therefore in order to improve the competitive spirit of students teachers should set example by living a decent life. Also, teachers can demonstrate to students how taken their education serious can help improve their life in the future.

Dear Pisipaty Srinivas Kishore

It is believed that developing autonomous learners should be a part of new education systems tasks. But, it is a quite challenging issue, especially in areas which they still suffer from basic problems.However, edutainment ideas which can bring education and entertainment at the class simultaneously (e.g. using games in the classroom) could let students experience a competitive atmosphere before leaving school.

Thank you Sina Jenabi Haghparast for your useful answer.

I personally think we should not encourage them to be competitive. Every student is unique. Everyone has their own strength and weakness. Everyone has different starting point in their education and life journey. Teaching them for being competitive is just making them constantly to compare to other people.

We should teach them on how to collaborate instead and how to complement each other to be able to survive in this fast-paced era. We also must teach them to be the best of themselves by encouraging them to compare themselves by their previous selves. We should push them for doing better and making progress every day by (again) NOT comparing with others but focusing more on their self development. By doing this, they can create self confidence and realize their own potentials. It is not easy because the current education system do not support this kind of environment but as teacher we must keep doing this. Nothing feel best than knowing them being successful in their own ways.

The kind supervision and interactive sessions with students are very important if you want to enhance the competitive spirit of your students. Its very unfortunate in the developing countries that after enrollment supervisors don't care about their students and research environment.

Students in the class room need to study hard to settle in life. For this, each student has to move forward, developing his own calibre and hard work to attain good marks. For this, simply studying does not have a meaning and one has to aim to the top that is should have competitive spirit. The student has to trained or told in such a way that, not only the subject is important but also to be on the top in achievements.

Inculcating the love of science among students encourages them to develop themselves and also can conduct various competitions and scientific activities from time to time.

Hi,

In this competitive world, it is better to inculcate such skills in young children. However, it is like walking a tight rope; A slip from competitive spirit would result in jealous and hatred development. So, vivid demarcations should be made to highlight healthy competition.

In education, there will be several process, the student will undergo. The student has to write the tests and attend viva-voce examinations. In this, the student should be in competition of all others. In order to encourage the competitive spirit, small awards, certificates and inspiring words will quite help them.

Thank you Naushad Khan for your answer.

Naushad Khan

The competive and intellectual sprits of students can be improved by interaction, understabding their individual ibterests and abilities, and focusssing attention on their specieal qauliries, abiliries and interests, Surely, a combination of these efforts shall best performance in each student.

Naushad Khan, as per your answer, food stamp program increase the attendance, have lunch, parents feel happy and spirit of the students gets increased, thereby joining the students to school increases. This is beneficial for school not to students.

Is it? As per my question, how could the students get competitive spirit? Spirit is different and competitive spirit is different. Competitive spirit indicates students to work hard, try to be on top of others or to achieve something.

All students may not have equal competitive spirits. Recognize and develop interests of students with relatively weaker competive spirits by extra interaction and encouragement.

An able and experienced teacher has several options to boost competitive spirit of any student.

Thank you B K Sharma for your answer.

Even weaker students doing well will automatically get good marks.

We have seen several examples. So we should focuss special attention on weaker students.

Making them attentive in the class, creating interest in subject, engaging them to follow class seriously, asking them questions in between, conducting quizes, conducting class tests and giving prizes encourages and improves competitive spirit in students.
