I don't know the answer to your question, but I applaud your study.  I have seen differences in school systems where allowing the child too explore, without criticism or correction can lead to improved motivation and inquisitiveness.

Good luck!

Education system has seen a lot of development. Teaching, learning and evaluation are technology driven. Flexibility, anytime, anywhere, customized, facilitated, videos and experimental feasibility are all motivators compared to the disciplined classrooms and talk and chalk method.

Thank you, Krishnan. I'll try to go on my project. When it was finished, I'll tell the results.

Thank you, John for your encouragements. I hope the results are interesting.

Change is constant. Educational system is open to change.  The issues are the presence of students to class, their motivation for what they learn and guide their learning with group dynamics. Teaching learning process is always based on the four major elements: learning objectives, contents, strategy or method, and measurement and evaluation. You can apply  the transactional model to study  the issues. Similarly you can utilize the input-output model to investigate the issues.

Thank you very much for your help, Florencia.

I don't know the transactional model to study the issues or how I can utilize the input-output model to investigate this type of issues, but I'll try to catch up.

Dear Eraldo.

Thank you very much for all your suggestions, but actually my question was directed to know if  an education system, in which the true motor is that students are motivated by their own learning, is possible. When someone is brand what to do, apparently from a higher plane, almost never get it done because it is not a proposal by the actor. I do not know if I have explained properly.

Regards.

This is how I understand your posted question.

You want to investigate factors that motivate attendance and learning engagement of students in the classroom.

You want to apply transactional model and utilize the input-output model.

If the running title is: “Motivation and Learning Engagement in the Classroom”, based on this running title the keywords are motivation, learning engagement, and classroom. Review related literature to provide background information of the topic and to describe the variables and the relationship of the variables.

The independent variable is motivation and dependent variable is learning engagement in the classroom.

Formulate research question that you want to answer or construct hypotheses that you want to test in the study

Examples of research questions to describe the direction of your study:

1. What are the factors that motivate the students to attend classroom learning?

2. What a is the impact of motivating factors on learning engagement of students in the classroom?

3. What are the indicators of positive classroom learning engagement?

4. What are the factors that decrease the interest to attend  classroom learning?

Construct Hypothesis that presents the expected relationship between an independent and dependent variable

Example of hypothesis: Environment conducive for physical, emotional, social, and cultural development encourages high attendance in classroom learning.

Attached is an example of framework or paradigm to illustrate transactional model and inpu-ouput model

Dear Florencia.

Thank you for such a clear and explanatory answer. I am overwhelmed by the time you've spent on a question that I wanted to make a more theoretical way, but you've helped me so much to another who posed on the model and technique to be used.

I hope someday you back this gesture as such an excellent response as yours.

Regards.

My pleasure all the time Montserrat Hernández-López. My purpose in joining RG is to share and to learn. Fortunately I can still make time to interact in the platform. Feel free to ask more questions related to your Educational Innovation Project.

Good luck.

Dear Florencia.

You are right. The good thing in RG is to see how a colleague, across the world, used part of his/her time in give an answer to a question. Sometimes, the questions are technical, like this, and sometimes, the most philosophical questions allow all participate, regardless our specialty, and that's very rewarding.

Thank you very much for your offer of help. If I need you, I'll remember it.

Best regards.

For me the students are many times the reflection of the teacher. When preparing lectures it is my opinion that we should think on how the students react and get out of the "power point comfort zone" and get into talks, debates, sharing opinions and let the student discover the knowledge step by step

Dear Javier.

You are right. I totally agree with you. That effort should be made before each class. Only then can we spread the students the illusion of what we are explaining and encourage them to continue being interested in themselves.

Thank you for sharing your opinion.

Regards.
