Students with a poor perception of their abilities may become anxious and perform less than their counterparts with higher confidence in their abilities. Moller (1993) describes learners with high anxiety as often misdirecting effort from learning to task-irrelevant concerns. Learners high in anxiety are often low in self-esteem and, as such, avoid evaluative situations. In contrast, learners with normal anxiety levels feel more confident and motivated in situations where they must be evaluated. Spain (2009) defined relevance as the connection of the instructional content to things that are meaningful to the students; the perception that instruction fulfills a personal need. Relevance strategies are defined as using concrete language and examples …show more content…
That meant the instructor should select learning tasks that are worth learning and develop this content in ways that help students to appreciate their significance and application potential to analyze the students and identify learning styles, such as active or reflective students. These learning styles can be categorized with the relevance portion of Keller's ARCS model because they assist in matching a student's motives. The first subcategory in relevance strategies is goal orientation. Relevance strategies highlight how the students' previous experiences and skills can be used to help them understand, learn new concepts, and link to students' needs, interests, and motives. This strategy can help teach the concept of writing academic summaries, which are essential to incorporating sources in argument essays. Instructional strategies should include presenting clear objectives to the students, allowing students some way to capitalize on their learning styles, and encouraging students to build on their own experience and …show more content…
This strategy clearly states how the instruction has current value for the student. Motive matching uses instructional strategies that match the motive profiles of the students. Those who learn to write well improve their ability to think, and those who write well generally score higher on essay tests than those who do not. The third subcategory for relevance strategy is familiarity through goal orientation. This strategy ties current instructional goals to future goals. It helps the student to relate the instruction as important to success not only in other .Therefore, if students do not believe they can successfully learn the instructional objectives, they lose motivational and are reluctant to participate .In other words, if the students do not feel that their efforts will be rewarded, then they resign themselves to

On February 26, 2016, at Miller Middle School, twenty-one eighth grade students were presented with a lesson that was based on Georgia State Standard, “ELAGSE8RL1: Cite the textual evidence that most strongly supports an analysis of what the text says explicitly as well as inferences drawn from the text.” After completion of the lesson, the teacher candidate hoped to achieve several learning objectives, including: Students would be able to draw inferences from the text to create and support an analysis, students would be able to choose specific textual evidence to support their conclusions accurately, and students would be able to explain the connection between their conclusions and the textual evidence they chose from the passage. The teacher

Paraphrase, Summary, Analysis, Response Finding that a growth mindset creates motivation and resilience and leads to higher achievement we sought to develop an intervention that would teach this mind-set students. We decided to aim our intervention at students who were making the transition to seventh grade because this is a time of vulnerability. School often gets more difficult in the seventh grade, grading becomes more stringent, and the environment becomes more impersonal. Many students take stock of themselves and their intellectual abilities at this time and decide whether they want to involved with school.
Chapter 18 of Everyone’s An Author explained to the readers that it’s extremely important for us to use strategies for supporting our argument. Also, the strategies for supporting our argument helps us as a student with much of the writing we do in college because it serves us as useful tools for generating ideas. In order to do so, we should use example, description, humor, and classification as the convincing evidence to support our argument.
The chapter on "Arguments" in The Little Gator Handbook with exercises by Bullock, Brody and Weinberg gives a breakdown of the primary keys for arguing a position and putting that argument to paper. The authors maintain that to have an acceptable argument, it should be indubitable what is trying to be conveyed, there should be some support for the position you are taking, it should have a noble aspect to enforce the fairness of your argument, and a fair rationalism supported by data which also takes into account the other position. In addition, the authors also propose suggestions for writing an argumentative essay. Throughout this chapter Bullock et al. offer various suggestions for selecting a topic, kindling that topic into further ideas,

In my classical argumentation essay, I used several rhetorical strategies in order to make my essay more appealing and convincing towards my readers. In my essay, I used rhetorical appeals (ethos, logos, and pathos). I used logos by providing statistics on the amount of children that are not in school and the amount of children that are employed in places like India, Nigeria and Brazil. I then used pathos by providing facts on how children are placed in hazardous environments and their lack of education. I used ethos by providing the authors of the sources that I used, who are experts in their respective fields.

I only wrote two essays in my Comp 1 class a rebuttal essay and a problem/solution essay. In my rebuttal essay I was rebutting against Clarence Darrow’s plea of mercy in this essay Darrow implies that two boys don’t deserve the death penalty for the murder of a young boy. In my essay I used persuasive techniques to convene my audience and the goals of persuasive techniques is to convince the reader to accept my point of view or recommendation. I also must build a case using facts and logic, as well as examples, expert opinion, and sound reasoning.

“... I will say that this is an adventure that every human being must go through- to learn to be anxious... Whoever has learned to be anxious in the right way has learned the ultimate.” (The Concept of Anxiety). Anxiety is a response to the awareness of one's freedom, of one's power to gaze into the daunting abyss of possibilities and through an act of choice actualize one of those potentialities. It is a response to the recognition that one is ultimately responsible for oneself and for one's future.
Anxiety disorders are the most commonly in children and adolescents (Essau, Conradt, Sasagawa, & Ollendick, 2012). This measurement has the potential to create a sense of relief for kids and provide strategies to manage work as well as the anxiety associated with school work and exams. The work level expected of a college student is very demanding. For every hour of class,
Sunday Night Synthesis - Week 3 - Buckmiller Two common themes expressed by all the material presented this week are, that we need to develop a relationship with our students in order to motivate them, and second, we as educators have to show true enthusiasm for what we are teaching.
