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.
