Hallway Heroes, Feeling good and Having fun

Submitted by joycetheriot on Fri, 07/18/2008 - 11:01am.

#5.       The brain is organized to explore by generating expectations and trying out things.

 

Students are not necessarily exploring the realms of thought where I want them to be with science content. They want to explore methods to disrupt, distract. delay instruction,. Why?

 

Their motivation could be to:

 

  •  get noticed by their peers and therefore talked about in the hallway
  • make it less boring in other words cause inputs which are more stimulating
  • prioritize inputs: What happened in the football game is what I need to know NOW
 

#7. Cognitive Unconscious and I-function

 

Student engagement of using the I-Function to develop a perception from accessing the CU is promoted because of their innate sense of individual need. What are their similar needs?

 

  • Be a Hallway Hero
  • Want to feel good
  • Have fun

 

Best practice for us?

 

Create Projects that access those needs.
