MOTIVATIONAL TECHNIQUES FOR AT RISK STUDENTS IN AN ONLINE SECONDARY ENVIRONMENT by Adria Trembly, Social Studies teacher for FWHS/WeAVE. Click here

Abstract: This applied project addresses the issues related to at risk youth turning to the Internet as a means to obtain their high school diplomas. A review of literature examines the pros and cons of the virtual high schools, motivational theory, how to apply motivational techniques to the online setting, and methods that can be employed by online instructors to increase learner motivation and participation. The review results in a presentation by the author to fellow online instructors at the Fort Washakie Virtual High School with suggestions on how the teacher can increase the motivation of the student body who is generally considered at risk.
