What technique can help maintain student motivation during instruction?

Rewarding success is a powerful technique to maintain student motivation during instruction. When students receive recognition or tangible rewards for their achievements, it reinforces positive behaviors and encourages them to strive for further success. This can take many forms, such as verbal praise, certificates, or even small tokens of achievement. Celebrating milestones helps create a positive learning environment, making the students feel valued and accomplished. As students experience ongoing success, their confidence and motivation often increase, leading to greater engagement and persistence in their learning journey.

While other techniques could positively influence motivation, rewarding success specifically highlights achievements in a way that fuels intrinsic motivation, making students more likely to persist through challenges and continue their progress.
