    Why should I study this? Interest activation

    in SRL Relevant Practices

    Motivation is an important part of self-regulation. Studying something that doesn't capture your interest or seems totally useless is very challenging. Low motivation affects the amount of focus, time, and effort you'll spend on the task or challenge that is waiting for you.


    Contrary to what many people think, learners can increase their interest levels.


    The following Spanish teacher will show you how she tackled students' low interest in a reading and in a math class.


    Why do you think reading is important?

    In Spain, a female teacher in her class of Spanish language (1st grade) asked her students to answer to the question “why do you think reading is important?”.






    It was an interesting exercise as it facilitated talking more explicitly about the important role of interest in learning.


    Yet, the teacher felt that the 'value of learning how to read' was quite easy to understand.

    So she decided to let students reflect on the role of interest in a context that was more challenging.


    Why should we be able to measure things with our body?

    In a second task, the teacher asked her students about the importance of “learning how to measure things with the body”. In her opinion, asking about the interest of the task was more appropriate this time, because for her students (and even for her), it made this content more attractive and funny. Measuring with the body (feet, hand, steps…) was usually perceived as something useless, so it was good to wonder how it can be used. In this case, children accompanied their words with a drawing.

    The next time I read a blog, I hope that it doesnt disappoint me as much as this one. I mean, I know it was my choice to read, but I actually thought you have something interesting to say. All I hear is a bunch of whining about something that you could fix if you werent too busy looking for attention.

    References and citations included at the end of your academic document will be a reservoir of materials for the researchers who wish to gather more relevant materials. Now that you have gained some insights on why you should cite sources, don’t take this process casually. Use an APA or generator to make the job easier. The citation process may come across as tedious to many of you. Many of you may even consider using MLA or generator to save time and efforts. But how many of you know the importance of citing sources? We are also an advisor for MyAssignmenthelp.co.uk and offers guidance on using tools.

    I find it really hard to keep in mind how to measure things with our body. The pictures always end up unproportional. Luckily, is not that hard if you have got the right support.

    Why do so many students experience serious difficulties in creating such a major writing project as a dissertation? I think, many of them don't know about .

    You have got it right that studying something totally depends on your interests and something which you don't capture seems totally useless. Nothing is in vain when you from the experts.
