A type of instructional approach that is student-centered is the mastery motivational climate. In this type of climate, the focus is on students mastering the material at their own pace, understanding the content deeply, and being motivated by their own progress and achievements.
In a mastery motivational climate:
1. Students are encouraged to learn at their own speed and ensure they have a solid understanding of the material before moving on.
2. Emphasis is placed on personal growth and improvement rather than competition with peers.
3. Teachers provide support and resources for students to achieve mastery of the subject matter.
4. Feedback is constructive and aimed at helping students improve their understanding.
By creating a mastery motivational climate, educators can help students develop a strong foundation of knowledge and skills, fostering a love for learning and intrinsic motivation to succeed.
