Motivation Strategies in Education

Sandeep and Jugjiv explored different approaches to motivation, including mastery learning environments and the impact of praise on students' beliefs about intelligence. They discussed Carol Dweck's research on the incremental versus entity belief in intelligence and how praise for ability versus effort affects students' motivation to take on challenges. The conversation concluded with a call for teachers to focus on reducing resistance to learning rather than solely boosting motivation through external factors like competition.

Team Collaboration and Horizontal Learning
