New Pedagogy to Increase Motivation: Indoor and Outdoor ºìÌÒÊÓÆµing

The essential basis for any learning and teaching to take place is - students' and teachers' internal motivation.
Internal(intrinsic) motivation has enormous – but often unused – potential to energize our engagement in learning. This course will show you how to maximise this potential by explaining effective didactic methods - developed through research and used in our everyday work.
