Tips for Keeping Kids Motivated for Online Learning
Motivation drives behaviors, persistence, and goal achievement in learning. Being able to understand the factors that influence motivation can help you develop appropriate strategies to keep learners motivated throughout the learning experience. We will look at effective strategies that can be used to motivate learners and help them persist in achieving their educational goals. Finally, we will look at the impact of isolation in the online environment. Motivation is driven by the need for achievement avoidance of failure.
Here are six tips to help parents keep their kids motivated during online learning.
No.1: Establish a structure and routine. Sticking to a schedule provides the stability kids need to keep plugging away.
No.2: Praise effort. Now, more than ever, taking notice of and commenting positively on how your kid is growing and progressing can really give them forward momentum.
No. 3: Break up the day. If you have some control over when kids do their schoolwork, mix things up a little. Consider letting them have a slower-paced morning and then tackling assignments after lunch.
No.4: Check-in regularly. Don't make assumptions about how things are going with your kid. Instead, see how they're holding up, ask how they feel, and figure out what you can do to support them.
No.5: Be willing to experiment. If a kid is struggling with reading, try an audiobook. If math is "too boring," do the problems on a whiteboard. A change of scenery can do wonders for a kid's motivation.
No.6: Adjust expectations. If we've learned anything during this crisis, it's to expect the unexpected. Kids will need time to adjust to the new learning environment. So remember to empathize, celebrate the little victories, and start tomorrow with fresh eyes.
No.7: Balance synchronous and asynchronous learning. Remote learning can be done either synchronously, with everyone online at the same time, or asynchronously, with students accessing the same lesson at different times. Synchronous lessons are harder to engineer and don’t allow as much time for practice, but it’s important to include at least some time when an entire class is online together. Not only does that allow for prompt teacher feedback, but it also enables teachers and students to maintain connections and feel part of a group—which is more important now than ever. And with younger students, asking parents to supervise asynchronous learning can be a disaster.
Even if it’s impossible to implement all of these tips, bearing them in mind can help. And as we learn more about how remote learning works, we can try to do it better—because even after the current crisis is over, we may need to do it again.
