Reinforcing Effort
The instructional strategy of reinforcing effort enhances students' understanding of the relationship between effort and achievement by addressing their attitudes and beliefs about learning.
Some recommendations for classroom practice are:
Explicit teach student about the importance of effort
have students keep track of their effort and achievements
These recommendations are very important to teach students so they can determine the difference of good work. Technology makes it easier for students and teachers to track the effects of effort and facilitates more immediate feedback.
Spreadsheet software
Spreadsheet software is a good tool to help students make the connection between effort and achievement.
A good idea for the students to track their achievement is by creating a spreadsheet of all the activities and have them track their progress
Spreadsheets like Microsoft excel can be used in many different ways and not just for grading. When doing projects, they are very helpful for organizing data as well as making check lists.
