The Engineering and Computing Education Core (ECEC) Fall Excellence in Teaching Series resumes Friday, Sept. 17 via Zoom with a noon-1 p.m. session – “Why Aren’t My Students More Motivated?: A Look at Student Profiles of Motivated, Self-Regulated Engagement,” led by Markeya Peteranetz, ECEC learning assessment coordinator.

If there were a magic button you could press to increase students’ motivation, teaching would be much easier! That button might not exist, but understanding how different aspects of students’ motivation and self-regulation combine to create profiles of engagement can help us identify which kinds of support will work best for each student.

This session will overview five evidence-based profiles of motivated, self-regulated engagement and present strategies you can employ to best support students exhibiting each profile.
