The purpose of this course is to equip parents and educators with the knowledge of motivational theories and their application in real-life contexts. Following the storyline of two children, Bob and Sarah, course participants are presented with a variety of problem scenarios. These depict common motivational issues that the participants can resolve using the motivational principles described in the course. Through the various sessions, parents and educators will progressively build a repertoire of strategies that enable them to better understand the Gen Z learners and to enhance their motivation to learn. Course participants will also have the opportunity to check their own understanding through quizzes and to interact with one another through discussion forums. This course was created with the National Institute of Education at Nanyang Technological University, Singapore.

This course is a great way to understand the "Child psychology". It will help understanding the children will and help them out in the areas in which they are lagging behind. A very well organised and informative course.
I highly recommend this course to parents, educators and any body who wishes to know how motivation works. This course course provides a great head start on understanding motivation from various approaches: behaviorist, humanistic, cognitive & socio-cognitive and socio-cultural. Some parts of the course I have learned before but what really puts the learning in perspective is the clear examples provided in this short course. After showing examples, the strategies for application is suggested and it really is going to help me a lot in the upcoming academic year.
This course is extremely helpful for parents and teachers in order for us to not just understand this generation's learners more but also learn how to help them learn more effectively and consistently. I highly recommend this course as it highlights enriching the learners' holistic development towards becoming a smarter, healthier, and more importantly a happier individual.
Thank you for the insightful course. I now know how to better manage students' motivation. One thing that can be improved is the organization of the materials where the definitions and the characteristics of the main theme can be discussed before discussing about the implications. I do like the discussion questions along the way as it allowed time for reflection.
Very beneficial for anyone wanting to understand children,students, and even ourselves better specifically when it comes to how we can change our mindset, what drives us, and much more. It's very informative and insightful, also very quick to go through the course as it's easily digestible.
