Motivating Students Series
Instructors should avoid creating intense competition among students. Competition produces anxiety that can interfere with learning. Discourage students from comparing themselves with others. Encourage collective group identity. Utilize group work when appropriate, encourage the formation of study groups/buddies, and guide them toward seeing themselves as a community of learners. Activities that allow students to get to know each other and feel comfortable sharing and helping each other aid in the development of the community. Avoid public criticisms of students’ performance and comments that tend to pit students against each other.  —Submitted by Employee Development (10.08.08)
