Starting as young as aged 5, students are often expected to maintain a desire to learn for upwards of 10years. For some students, this inevitably leads to a lack of interest in education, as will now be discussed.
A primary reason why some students are not focused during class is the direct result of more traditional forms of teaching which lacks any real interactivity. More active participation by the student during classroom sessions will make the topic more engaging and subsequently motivates the presentations and other students-driven learning.
There are also many different learning styles, and it would be unrealistic to expect all students to learn in the same manner. Certain subjects and pedagogical styles will suit some students better than other, so it is essential that a teacher vary their teaching style so as to interest the widest variety of students at least some part of each school day.
A final point is that the desire to learn is not simply an issue that should be addressed in schools. Like much of our behaviour, the influence of family, especially parents, is vital. By establishing an environment in which learning is considered positive, rather than simply a duty or necessity, motivation is far less of an issue. This can be achieved by rewarding learning, or the use of educational toys and games.
