- Motivational Strategies That Work! Winter 2007 Motivation Techniques Computer Assisted Instruction Media Specialists Information Literacy Teaching Methods Student Motivation Student Research High School Students College Students Elementary School Students Secondary School Students Self Esteem Mathematical Concepts Films Evaluation Methods Time Factors (Learning) This column is a collaborative effort by library media specialists and K-16 educators who write about the motivational strategies that have worked for them in teaching information literacy (IL) skills. Motivational strategies include ways to gain and sustain attention, increase relevance for learning IL skills, build confidence in students' developing research abilities, promote a continuing motivation to engage in research on a topic, or provide satisfaction with research accomplishments. This article presents ideas for building confidence in K-8 students, and strategies for the high school and college level: (1) Building up a Student's Confidence (Robin Rosen); (2) Giving a Student "Wait" Time (Rachel Tsivitis); (3) Take a "Confidence" Poll (Denise Bieniek); (4) Using Candy Bars and Soup Boxes to Teach Boolean Logic (Jennifer Hanley); and (5) Using Popular Film to Teach Evaluation (Pauline Shostack).
