Using Positive Behavior Supports and Gaming Principles to Exponentially Extend Students’ Motivation to Learn
Positive behavior supports are typically presented as a collection of methods to simply manage, or sustain student behaviors at basic levels, and in support of civil cultures in classroom settings. However, with the inclining demands of today’s world, human performance must incline at the same rate to match them. If human performance must be higher, then societies’ methods, including school-based practices, must help learners to wring more from their academic performance. The common approach of managing and sustaining behavior is appropriate, but falls far short of using positive behavior support principles and techniques to draw from students their full interests and capabilities in the game of learning. In addition to positive behavior supports, gaming principles have also received substantial attention for improving, and even peaking human performance. In this session, participants will explore behavioral and gaming principles and techniques to help students’ unleash the 30% of interest, effort and ingenuity they hold back, or never spend on their own learning.
- Given an opportunity for group discussion, participants will identify future skills requiring today’s students to learn more...and learn it quicker to meet the demands of the future. Participants will share their ideas with the entire group.
- Given an electronic polling system, participants will identify behavioral and gaming principles they may employ to recruit in their students, substantial increases in motivation to learn.
- Given time to plan for implementation, participants will identify strategies to support students in identifying and selecting motivational principles for self-deployment to increase their attainment of higher levels of knowledge and skill.
