DISCONNECTED, DISINTERESTED, DETACHED, DISENGAGED, UNMOTIVATED
Ms. Karen Martin-Hearon, Alabama A&M University
Only 14% of students say they are unmotivated while Educators say over 54% of students “don’t care”. Other studies indicated 20% of students are highly motivated, and 20% are disengaged, while 79% said staying motivated was a problem. There is no one-size-fits-all or magic solution, so learning from data collected over the past few semesters to create and test well-designed proactive, and intentional building-blocks that Educators can apply is imperative. We are designing more visionary not interventionists, not a prediction, but a hope, what it can be with efforts and actions. Students disconnected, disinterested, unmotivated may be challenging. Are you ready?
