How to encourage motivation to learn in our students?

Abstract

There is a concern in the teaching practice related to the lack of interest in learning that many students show. What leads to reflect and change the didactic strategies used in the classroom, to motivate students to improve their academic performance. However, these changes have not always yielded the desired results and the search for these "key points" continues. The book "Pedagogy of Motivation", by Brigitte Prot, allows a deeper analysis of the pedagogical processes that should be taken as reference points to be able to motivate students every day, since the author through this work, presents a set of fundamental elements aimed at awakening the desire to learn.

This article contains a reflection on what is considered one of the most significant problems found in the academic field: the students lack motivation to learn, as well as some aspects that have proven positive results throughout the teaching practice; Starting from the premise that any change that is made at the institutional, curricular level, as well as any efforts developed by them, does not serve anything, but rather encourages students to learn.
