Self MADE Motivation
£230About this course
Every young person wants to grow, develop and advance. This inspirational workshop enables students to develop a powerful inner drive and commit to continuous improvement. Your students will become aware of their habitual patterns of thinking and behaving. By doing so, your students will learn to positively influence their motivation and in term, improve their studying, time efficiency and effectiveness.
Rationale
Motivated students are much more likely to achieve their potential and find success. Motivation is an essential ingredient in effective learning. It not only yields more positive behaviour in students, but it also contributes to a greater sense of wellbeing. Helping students to understand how to motivate themselves is crucial, if we are to provide them with the best possible start in life. Much of the research in this area has classified motivation as either intrinsic or extrinsic. That is, students are often thought to be learning either for the sake of learning or as a means to some other end, whether it be praise, tangible rewards, or meeting the demands of authority figures. Numerous research studies have shown that intrinsically motivated students have higher achievement levels, lower levels of anxiety and higher perceptions of competence and engagement in learning than students who are not intrinsically motivated (Wigfield & Waguer, 2005).
Motivation is seen as a pre-requisite of and a necessary element for student engagement in learning.
Russell, Ainley & Frydenberg (2005)
Objectives
- To help students understand what motivation is and where it comes from.
- To identify actions and routines to enhance performance.
- To enable students to realise the power of intrinsic motivation over extrinsic.
- To manage inner dialogue and increase positivity.
- To encourage personal resilience.
Skills taught and their Benefits
Identifying intrinsic and extrinsic motivators can help students to realise what drives and influences their actions. From this point, they can challenge those motivations and re-align them for greater self-belief and self-efficacy.
The Wheel of Balance acts as a representation of a students’ personal and academic life. The wheel requires significant self-reflection and the ability to assess their current situations. By knowing more about the wheel, your students can determine whether they have the priorities they intend and decide when to make changes to their routines and habits.
The Confidence Wall is a useful tool for recognising what the student has accomplished so far. It encourages the student to view their academic progress as another step in their ongoing journey of change and life.
Results. When setting goals, it’s important to consider whether we are going ‘towards’ or ‘away from’. Both types of goal are valid.
Reflecting on positive, past experiences in which we made progress and felt good about ourselves encourages us to develop the belief that we can achieve the goal in front of us. If we did that, then we can do this!
Outcomes
By the end of the workshop, your students will have:
• Understood what motivation is, where it comes from and how to harness it.
• Identified actions and routines they can adjust to enhance their performance.
• Improved their management of inner dialogue and increased their positivity.
• Increased their sense of responsibility for their self-directed studies.
Students’ motivation to do well at school or college increased to 82% (an increase of +6%)

Note to parents
The strategies within this course are designed to help your child plan, structure and conduct their revision in the most effective manner.
It is important to note that each child has individual strengths and preferences and will therefore benefit from a tailored and personalised approach to revision. There is no ‘one-size-fits-all’ magic rabbit foot for passing exams. There are, however, a range of techniques that have been proven to assist in increasing focused attention, understanding and recall. We encourage students to experiment with a variety of these techniques so they might develop an approach that works for them. A good time for trying out different revision methods is in the lead up to the mock exams. Help them to analyse which techniques work for them, so that when they are revising for their main exams – they know how to revise in a confident and effective manner.
Discuss revision with your child and encourage them to discuss it with their friends and siblings. Encourage your child to attend any additional revision sessions organised by the school; these will be focused on the key topics that will come up in the exam. Your child will also get the feeling that they’re not alone in this; all their friends are going through it too. Attend any parents’ evenings put on by the school. It’s useful to be reminded of things you might not have thought of or forgotten. Also, it’s a great time to hear from other parents and how they’re all experiencing similar issues or challenges.
We wish you all the best in supporting your child through the intensive and often stressful time leading up to exams. The act of you reading this text, infers that you have your child’s best interests in mind. I’m sure they will benefit massively from your help, support and encouragement.
Best,
