Motivating students to learn / by Wentzel, Kathryn R.; Brophy, Jere E.;
Includes bibliographical references and index.Written specifically for teachers, this book offers a wealth of research-based principles for motivating students to learn. Its focus on motivational principles rather than motivation theorists or theories leads naturally into discussion of specific classroom strategies. Throughout the book these principles and strategies are tied to the realities of contemporary schools (e.g., curriculum goals) and classrooms (e.g., student differences, classroom dynamics). The author employs an eclectic approach to motivation that shows how to effectively integrate the use of extrinsic and intrinsic strategies. Guidelines are provided for adapting motivational principles to group and individual differences and for doing "repair work" with students who have become discouraged or disaffected learners. -- Provided by publisher.Machine generated contents note: 1.Introduction to Student Motivation -- 2.Classroom Goals: What Is It That I Want to Do? -- 3.Extrinsic Goals and Incentives: What Am I Supposed to Do? -- 4.Intrinsic Motivation and Values: Is This Important and Enjoyable to Do? -- 5.Supporting Intrinsic Motivation and Values by Making Learning Attractive -- 6.Socializing Uninterested or Alienated Students -- 7.Beliefs about Ability, Causality, and Control: Can I Do It?

Boys adrift : the five factors driving the growing epidemic of unmotivated boys and underachieving young men / by Sax, Leonard.;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 279-331) and index.The riddle -- The first factor : changes at school -- The second factor : video games -- The third factor : medications for ADHD -- The fourth factor : endocrine disruptors -- End result : failure to launch -- The fifth factor : the revenge of the forsaken gods -- Detox.An updated version of his best seller, Sax delves into the scientific literature and draws on his vast clinical experience to propose an entirely original view of why boys and young men are continuing to fail in school and at home. He argues that a combination of social, cultural, and biological factors is creating an environment that is literally toxic to boys, ranging from environmental estrogens to the over-prescription of ADHD drugs. And he presents practical solutions-- from new ways of controlling boys' use of video games, to innovative (and workable) education reforms.

Classroom Management : Authentic Experiences in Classroom Teaching / by Van Schooneveld, Jacqueline,author.; Ryan, Michael,1971-author.;
As teacher educators, we strive to create learning experiences that can best prepare preservice teachers for the complexities they will face when entering classrooms today. Providing authentic learning experiences for teacher candidates is imperative to building their skills to handle challenging situations, and at the same time, build a positive learning community. Through this book, teacher candidates will engage in thoughtfully constructed scenarios and activities crafted by teachers based on actual experiences in the classroom. Classroom Management provides a foundation of classroom management and engages teacher candidates in activities to have them construct their own philosophy for establishing a learning community. Through this book, teacher candidates will start to become professionals who intellectualize teaching rather than just try to master a practice.Description based on print version record.Electronic reproduction.
