Motivation

This post is about one of the biggest issues related to education: motivation.
As a future teacher, I recognize this topic as fundamental when you’re talking about teaching. this is because we all know that there are different influences in children's difficulties when they are learning (family issues, adolescent problems, mood, etc) but nobody can deny that one of the main responsibility of a teacher is to know how to motivate students to learn.
To captivate the students attention, to help them improve their self-stem, to considered them as people with a valuable opinion, are all ways to motivate children to keep fighting, to get better and not to give up just because they think they’re stupid of are too afraid of failure.

When I was at school I could see how different teachers applied this thing called motivation with my classmates and I. some didn’t even care, they thought that their only job was to stand in front of the class and “throw up” information as they were machines. Other were very interested in motivate us and made a huge effort, but the age, and external issues won the battle and those teachers end up giving up on us.

As you see, we have to faces of the coin, and the only reasonable way to go is not to go to the extremes in any position, to analyze the situation, to know the students and to study the variables that can lead them to lose every hope they can have in schools. And finally, to be creative, to innovate and be ready to break the rules or normal order, just to accomplish a most wonderful goal: student willing to do their best for their education and their future.
