For preparation you were asked to complete an observation of your mentor. Discuss your observation results on the 3 basic needs: autonomy, competence and relatedness. Make notes in your shared document.
- First, discuss what the 3 basic needs mean and why they are important to take into account as a teacher.
- Which of the 3 basic needs was met most clearly in your mentor’s lesson?
- Which practical activities or behaviours could you identify in your mentor’s teaching that motivated learners?
- Which basic need was met the least?
- Think of activities or behaviours that would meet the previously mentioned need.

Motivation
In your working groups discuss the following questions. Start a new document in your group channel, call in Motivation and one member of the group make notes.
- Which factors influence you when making a decision about either finishing an assignment or e.g. watching Netflix instead?
- When you do a task or assignment, how long does it take you to get started?
- What determines how focused you are and remain when working on a task or assignment?
- When you are struggling to complete a task or assignment, what makes you persist or decide to give up?
- Which thoughts make you feel motivated and demotivated when working on a task?
- Which insights resulting from this discussion are meaningful to you when thinking about your teaching practice?

Motivation
Look at the image ‘The Taxonomy of Motivation’.
- Do online research about the different elements in the taxonomy for deeper understanding. Make sure to use reliable sources. Record these sources in an annotated bibliography (see example) for later use.
- Then, read the case studies below.
- Discuss the case studies in your team in terms of intrinsic and extrinsic motivation using the taxonomy of motivation and the guiding questions. Make notes in your shared document.
- Using your own educational experiences or experiences at your internship, come up with a concrete classroom example of each regulatory style.

Jigsaw Method
Form groups of students who have the same chosen skill to research as you and sit together. You will now research and discuss the follwing questions, related to your specific skill.
- What does this skill imply?
- Why is this skill important?
- What are the difficulties involved in this skill in the classroom?
- How do the application of these skills work on students' motivation?
- Think of a classroom example in which this skill is required and demonstrated.
- Be sure to discuss your research with your other ‘experts’ to ensure you are clear and consistent in your understandings.

Independent Learning Task
Design a pedagogical learning question for you to focus on during your internship. Discuss with internship supervisor, internship mentor and Learning Team Coach. You can use the development plan (see Canvas Learning Teams) to structure the report of your findings and conclusions. You can use your learning question from PP-a, previously received feedback on learning tasks, or this module’s theme as inspiration. Read the full description of the independent learnng task on Canvas. Consider classroom management skills as a possible topic for your pedagogical learning question. Discuss with your learning team coach.

The students from HAVO 2 have gym. The teachers have put together a full programme of different sports. Today is hockey with some short instructions and then a game. The pupils come noisily into the gym, shouting: "Why are we going to play hockey? I thought we were going to do a game of football." Robert (teacher) gives a quiet explanation about the planned lesson. "We're going to practice hockey skills first and then play a game." The pupils are divided into pairs and take, with slight reluctance, the hockey sticks. "Can’t we just play football for the last ten minutes?" asks Thomas. Robert patiently replies that he will not change his lesson. When Thomas comes home from school he says to his mother: "Gym was boring today. And the gym teacher is a jerk. " • What do you think about Robert’s reaction?
• And what about Thomas’s?
• How can motivate Robert motivate his students for gym class?
Kounin's 5 Classroom Management Skills. In your working teams, divide the 5 skills between you so that you each have a different skill. If there are less than 5 in your group - select the skills you indicated you wanted to work on. In your groups' channel, open a working document called - Kounin's 5 skills and give each skill a page in the document. When you have done that move to the next slide.
Students should learn to take responsibiilty for their own learning and work processes. In this give and take process, teachers must allow students to make choices and exert a level of independence, and students must stick to rules and agreements made. As older, more eduted students with an interest in our subject, this is easier to achieve. Teachers must learn to boost students' intrinsic motivation for their subject and promote responsibility. Read Geerts & Kralingen, pp 166-170
'With-it-ness' is a way to describe how the teacher is connected to everything that is going on in their lesson. Continous signalling is the ability to show students that you are alert and aware without having to be speaking all the time, and enable you to deliver seamless transitions beteen instruction, activity and conclusion. Read Geerts & Kralingen, pp 150-155
A teacher needs to ensure that the students are paying attention to what is said and done in eth elcassroom. An experienced teacher can get, maintain and recall students' attention without even appearing to do so. Read Geerts & Kralingen, pp164-166
Lesson Outcomes
By the end of the sessions you can..
understand principles of classroom management
understand how to motivate learners according to the self-determination theory; intrinsic & extrinsic motivation
Create a 10 minute presentation summarising your findings taht you will present at the beginning of the leerplein session next week.
Metz is Professor of Geography. This is an exam class and Metz is irritated that the pupils are barely able to work independently on the subject matter. They don’t usually do their homework, even though he explains in each lesson how important it is that they do. If the students do the compulsory exercises in class, they often ask questions about things that they could have figured out themselves if they had done the reading. Some pupils don’t do anything at all during class. They chat with each other or lie on their table. They ignore the corrective comments by Metz or do for a moment and then return to the unwanted behaviour. One pupil is succeeding and gets good grades in their tests. • What can you say about the motivation of Metz’s pupils? Involve the words “competency, autonomy and relationship "in your answer.
• How might you tackle this problem with didactics? • What tips would you give Metz to increase the motivation of his students?

An alter teacher spots and responds to disruptions quickly, effectively and with minimal disturbance. As a teacher you need to be aware of what students' behaviours and triggers to those behaviours are, and be aware of when and how they occur. When this calm and productive environment is established, its trickles down (or ripples out to) its students, minimising the risk of distubance from the outset. Read Geerts & Kralingen, pp 155 - 158
As a teacher you have to do two things ar the same time when needed; for example conveying subject matter whilst maintaining a safe and productive learning environment. Learning to do both tasks at the same time is called overlapping. It is about keeping the momemtum in your classroom whilst maintiaing order and control. Read Geerts & Kralingen, pp158-163
Annotated Bibliography is a way of recording the most important parts of a text you read before deciding whether to use it or not. You should do this for each item you read. YOur final bibliography only includes the references of works cited but this way you can keep a track of what you read for future reference. Example: Full Citation: Lhachimi, S.K. and Cole, K.J. (2015) Health impacts of increasing alcohol prices in the European Union: A dynamic projection. Preventive Medicine. 55(3), pp.237-243.
Summary
This research aims to quantify the health impact of increasing the price of alcohol. Quantitative methodology uses alcohol consumption and disease data to plot changes in the health of the population. The authors conclude that Increasing price of alcohol would reduce significant numbers of alcohol related deaths and lead to a reduction in chronic diseases. Therefore, reducing excessive drinking could result in significant gains in the health of the general population.
Evaluation
The article appears to be written to inform health professionals who work with alcohol dependent people. The data presented by the authors is informative, however, the data collection method could be considered flawed due to the small sample groups. The research also appears to be predictive and therefore, may be considered biased.
Reflection
The results and conclusions could be used by health professionals to inform the general public of the benefits of raising the price of alcohol using the data presented.
