STUDENT MOTIVATION, COMPONENT OF CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT

Summary/Abstract: Motivating students represents one of the main components of classroom management, with reference to the focus of the current educational paradigms: democratic, motivating and participatory. Students face different motivation problems related to learning. Starting from the knowledge of the structure of students' learning ability, the teacher, in terms of classroom management, should: guide the students’ intellectual resources towards anchor ideas, capable of being organized in complex information systems; develop those complex thinking strategies based on both convergent and divergent-heuristic thinking, both on the crystallised and on the fluid one; train the upper levels of socio-cultural needs; stimulate positive, creative intrinsic motivation; develop volitional structures, neglected by classical pedagogy, based on truth, belief, initiative, performance; build skills, abilities, capabilities, competences, according to the practical-applicative requirements of modern pedagogy.
