What really motivates students to learn? What gets them
interested—and keeps them interested—in pursuing knowledge and
understanding? Recent neuroscientific findings have uncovered the
source of our motivation to learn, or as neuroscientist Jaak
Panksepp terms it, the drive to seek. Seeking is what gets us out
of bed in the morning, the engine that powers our actions, and the
need that manifests as curiosity. Informed by new findings on the
nature of the brain's seeking system, internationally renowned
educators Gayle Gregory and Martha Kaufeldt have identified key
brain-friendly strategies for improving student motivation,
knowledge acquisition, retention, and academic success. In this
book, readers will learn: The science behind the motivated brain
and how it relates to student learning. Strategies for preparing a
motivational environment and lesson. Strategies for creating
engaging learning experiences that capitalize on the brain's
natural ways of learning. Strategies for improving depth of
knowledge, complex thinking, and synthesis to get students into the
ever-desired state of flow. How attention to the neuroscience of
motivation will improve the classroom environment and student
learning. The Motivated Brain shows teachers how to harness the
power of their students' intrinsic motivation to make learning fun,
engaging, and meaningful.
