Motivational Factors on Learning in a Constructivist Classroom

The findings of the study will be of great help for schools offering senior high school program especially in the rural areas and to the newly-hired teachers in promoting constructivist-informed classrooms. With proper observation of the students’ needs and wants the teachers will be able to provide not just the learning strategies suited for the students but also for teachers’ own continuous development. Constructivist – informed classroom will help teachers explicitly plan strategies in the classroom; strengthen students’ motivation towards learning; and employ strategies aligned to their needs and wants. In essence the motivating factors on learning for 21st century learners are considered the “NEEDS” of our students. Whereas the students'' chosen teaching strategies were the “WANTS” and the teachers'' observation on the attitude of students’ towards learning will be applied to DELIGHT the learners. The teachers must delight the students because knowing the motivational factors on learning and the chosen teaching strategies of our students are useless if it is not applied in the classroom.
