From your experience, what are some of the affective factors that you encounter in your classrooms? How do they interfere in learning?How do lower the affective filter?
Many of you work with children. What are some of the issues concerning motivation with children? How do address motivation in the classroom? Can you motivate them or does motivation come from within?
As a Kinder Bilinugal Teacher, I provide a student friendly environment at all times. The affective filter is low by creating a friendly environment. I constantly praise my students for just trying and never giving up. Since my students are ELL's, a few of them, hesitate speaking English. Some of them are going thru the silent period. Yes, affective filter can interfere with learning, however, I implement my SIOP strategies and such strategies help.
There are a few ways I motivate my students. First, rewards, such as, sticker, pencils and etc. Second, with excellent behavior, the student has choices. The student may be the line leader for the day or my door holder. In kinder, they enjoy such choices. Third, on Fridays, if we have had a success week, I will have lunch with my students in our classroom. These are just a few way I motivate my students.
