Student motivation
Looking at the motivation of our students
A student’s level of motivation can be a deciding factor in the progress they make. The M.U.S.I.C model created by Jones (2009), described by Martin in the video, explores five factors which contribute towards a student’s level of academic motivation: Empowerment, Usefulness, Success, Interest and Care. The model is deigned to be used as a diagnostic tool to identify reasons underlying poor motivation.
You can explore the M.U.S.I.C model in more detail in the next step.
