For the effective development of this process the motivation for learning activities is necessary and important.
For a more complete analysis of the problem of motivational activity in the school system, a sociological study was conducted among students in grades 5-6 and 10-11.
Among the causes of the motivation crisis students it can be distinguished:
information overload, therefore, students (partially younger students) independent cognitive activity;
modern society translates to the student a system of values in which the desire to study is not the most important and honorable place;
priority and purpose of educational activity in high school has moved in the direction of the results (final test, exam, etc., only on certain subjects required for University entrance), leaving the process of education outside the interests of students. High school students are focused on the result, and the study itself losses its importance for them, and consequently, the level of motivational activity decreases.
The following steps can improve the situation.
- Remember that the main motivation is the interest for study, understanding the necessity of study process and satisfaction of intermediate results.
- Understanding that the school provides the necessary knowledge that without education you can not find a good job, that it the exact time for the Foundation of the future
- To "tie" the interests of the child to a particular school subject. Make this item a useful tool to help a teenager.
