1.1 Explain eight roles of motivation in education that Mrs. Dennis practised
fostering a positive learning environment and enhance learners'
engagement and performance. (16)
Encouraging Self-Directed Learning: Mrs. Dennis encouraged students to establish
and meet their own objectives in order to foster intrinsic motivation. By giving
students a sense of control over their education, this method increases the likelihood
that they will connect with the subject matter profoundly and persevere through
difficulties.
Establishing a Positive and Disciplined Environment: Students' participation in the
development of classroom discipline policies promoted mutual respect and a feeling
of community while also making the rules more relevant and acceptable to them.
Students are motivated to learn in this environment because they feel appreciated
and understood.
Improving Leadership and Emotional Intelligence: Mrs. Dennis focused on her
leadership and emotional intelligence skills after realizing how much a teacher's
belief in her students affects their drive. She established a supportive environment
that inspired students to participate and achieve by striking a balance between task-
oriented and people-oriented methods.
Different Learning Styles: By acknowledging and incorporating her students' various
intelligences and learning preferences into her lesson plans, she made sure that
every student could interact with the content in the way that worked best for them.
This not only piqued their curiosity but also optimized their learning capacity,
demonstrating the close relationship between motivation and how well instructional
materials align with students' innate tendencies.
Collaborative Teaching Strategies: By encouraging involvement through peer
interaction, collaboration among students throughout lessons can increase
motivation. This method helps pupils feel like they belong and might motivate them
to take an active role in their education.
Increasing Inclusion and Competence: Mrs. Dennis met important psychological
needs that are crucial for motivation by working to increase inclusion and foster a
sense of competence among her students. Students' self-esteem and enthusiasm to
participate in learning activities can be increased when they feel competent and
involved.
, Physical Learning Environment: Students' motivation can be greatly impacted by the
well-thought-out design and layout of the classroom. An attractive physical setting
can pique students' curiosity and improve their overall enjoyment of the learning
process, which will increase their desire to interact with the course material.
1.2 Provide different methods educators can utilise to establish and nurture a
positive educator-learner relationship. (4)
The educator can create an educator learner relationship by encouraging more
positive statements rather than negative, creating a dialogue with learners that is
open, professional and appropriate, build better relationships with learners, create
opportunities for personal discussion and communicate high and exceptional
expectations (Coetzee et al, 2019:42)
1.2 Identify and elaborate on two primary functions that senior managers
should undertake based on the scenario. (4)
Promote Inclusivity at All Levels: Senior managers have a responsibility to make sure
that the policies and procedures of the school are inclusive, acknowledging and
appreciating the variety of the student body and staff. This can entail offering cultural
competency training, making sure school resources and facilities are accessible, and
advocating for an inclusive curriculum that takes into account the experiences and
backgrounds of every student.
Encourage Collaboration Among Educators: Provide educators with chances to
collaborate, exchange best practices, and create interdisciplinary projects that will
enhance students' educational experiences. When educators work together, kids'
learning experiences become more integrated and coherent; this strengthens the
school’s feeling of community. The establishment of teacher learning communities,
frequent staff meetings with an emphasis on pedagogical practices, and the
promotion of team teaching techniques can all help achieve this.
