The 6 Cs of Motivation
I have just read “The 6 Cs of Motivation” by Shiang-Kwei Wang and Seungyeon Han. The article lists the 6 Cs of motivation as:
v Choice
v Challenge
v Control
v Collaboration
v Constructing Meaning
v Consequences
I think that using the 6 C’s of motivation as a strategy is fantastic! It can increase the motivation of students just by allowing them a bit more control and choice over their work. It is important for teacher and students to work together in formulating and understanding tasks because this promotes a mutual respect and a much deeper understanding of the work.
