Student Motivation
A healthy, engaged community depends on people achieving to the best of their potential, contributing actively to the economy and public well-being, and helping the next generation to thrive. A complex set of intertwined social and biological factors influences people’s motivation to participate actively and productively in schools, jobs, and communities–and to persevere in the face of setbacks. To unlock this puzzle and ensure that all people have the opportunity to develop motivation to learn, improve skills, and make healthy choices, it would be helpful to understand the underlying mechanisms in the brain that develop in childhood and build the foundation for later complex behaviour.

Understanding Motivation - Working Paper

This Working Paper from the National Scientific Council on the Developing Child explains the science behind motivation–the “wanting” system and the “liking” system–as well as how those systems develop, and how that development can be disrupted. It also dives into the implications of the science for parents, caregivers, and teachers, as well as policy and public systems.

Pupil Grouping
Within-class attainment grouping involves organising pupils within their usual class for specific activities or topics, such as literacy. Pupils with similar levels of current attainment are grouped together but all pupils are taught by their usual teacher and support staff and follow the same curriculum.
The aim of this type of grouping is to match tasks, activities and support to pupils’ current capabilities so that all pupils have an appropriate level of challenge.

Student Engagement
Engagement in teaching and learning is a prerequisite to success. A student is not as likely to succeed in learning if they or their school are not invested in their learning. Disengagement, by definition, is a form of alienation from what you are doing or where you are. Alienation does not feel good and, by definition, is inimical to functioning well. It thus is inimical to one’s wellbeing.

Positive psychologist, Martin Seligman, sees engagement as one of five elements of wellbeing. The five elements are: Positive Emotion; Engagement; Positive Relationships; Meaning; and Accomplishment (PERMA) (Seligman, 2011)
