Student’s Diversity in Motivation

Our students’ motivation may vary an account of age, gender, cultural, socioeconomic background
and special education needs. Our class is a conglomerate of students with varying ages and gender
and most especially cultural background and socioeconomic status. Our students’ motivational
drives reflect the elements of the culture in which they grow up- their family, their friends, school,
church and books. To motivate all of them for learning, it is best to employ differentiated
approaches. “Different facts, different strokes”. what is medicine for one may be poison for another.

Two Principles to consider regarding Social and Cultural influences on motivation.

According to Omrod (2004).

1. Students are most likely to model the behaviors they believe are relevant to their situation.
2. Students develop greater efficacy for a task when they see others like themselves performing the
tasks successfully.

Conclusion from the two principles

“Students need models who are similar to themselves in terms of race, cultural background,
socioeconomic status, gender, and (if applicable) disability.

Then it must be good to expose our students to models of their age and to models who come from
similar cultural, social, economic backgrounds.

Differences between individuals in their capacity for work and study

According to Survival Kit prepared by the Guidance Office of St. Louis University

Factor A- Intelligence and Special Abilities… 50%-60%

Factor B- Industry, Effort, and Effective Study Methods… 30%-40%

Factor C- Chance and Environmental Factors.. 10%-15%

Later in college,… the proportions may change as such:

Factor A- Intelligence and Special Abilities… 30%-40%

Factor B- Industry, Effort, and Effective Study Method… 50%-60%

Factor C- Chance and Environmental Factors… 10%-15%
