Creating Engaging and Motivating Learning Environments

The need to be creative in the classroom has been the prominent feature throughout the

survey, which will only be truly effective after knowing what I need to create for my students.

From the responses I have received from my survey, my students would benefit from being

checked up on to help keep up their learning and support systems while navigating the unfamiliar

learning environment. There is a common highlight between the genre of fiction and video

games, which I can use to facilitate learning in the in-person and online learning environments to

boost student motivation. The quote from ​Taking Action on Adolescent Literacy, “​ In classrooms

that promote motivation, teachers continually make connections between texts and the life

experiences of students, films, other texts, previous school experiences, and the topic at hand,”

(Irvin, J., Meltzer, J., & Dukes, M., 2007). By using what students love to facilitate learning,

students can enjoy learning and activate the required deep learning. “The result of deeper

learning is students leave school with how, when, and why to apply skills and knowledge to face

challenges of college, career, and life” (Wickline, 2015). This will take a lot of time and

creativity which I had not thought of before, and surveys like this will help me understand from

where my students are starting so that I can help them grow from there.
