The Problem Statement
Distance learning due to pandemic has really affected the motivation of kids to learn in school – having to do it at home with so many distractions, having to adjust from meeting in person then online, zoom fatigue, etc.
Students nowadays are not motivated enough to learn when the materials are difficult to understand, static and boring.
Motivation to learn is important because it drives individuals to actively seek out and engage with new information and experiences. It’s also important to stimulate them with engaging, interactive experiences as this adds to their excitement to learn.
The Approaches
Research on motivation of kids to learn.
Some of the factors that can motivate children to learn are:
1.A sense of curiosity and interest in the subject matter
2.Positive reinforcement and rewards
3.Belief that learning will lead to future success.
4.Presence of positive role models or mentors
5.Self-directed learning
6.Relevance to student's interest
Take elements from media and games that are catching the attention of kids nowadays and design gamified and interactive learning experiences
Some of those media and game apps are:
