Comment raviver la passion pour l’apprentissage chez les élèves désengagés ?

Most of the time disengagement is the effect of a personal context of the learner or learning needs not being met. Identifying these underlying reasons will help us modulate the learning, addressing disengagement promptly. Establish a supportive relationship with the learner to personalise learning providing positive encouragement. Connect lessons to real-world applications that resonate with their interests & experiences. Create atmosphere where they feel safe to take risks, ask questions, & make mistakes without fear of judgment. Break down tasks into manageable steps setting realistic goals. Celebrate successes with constructive feedback. Help develop metacognitive skills through reflections, identifying strengths & need for improvement

Helping students who are "disengaged" involves inquiry and investigation. Students: may be suffering a personal hardship; may be in the wrong placement; may be traumatized; may be intimidated; may not want to appear "smart"; may be dealing with a bully in that class; may not like or trust you; may feel threatened by content that feels too difficult; may have learned that detaching from class removes accountability; may struggle with motivation; may be depressed or anxious; or...may be the reason you take a step back and assess YOUR ways as a teacher. If you see disconnect across your class(es), then it's time to reassess teaching approach. Strategies that may have worked may not be working now. Students teach us how to teach them. Be open.

Reigniting a passion for learning in disengaged students can be a challenging but rewarding endeavour, especially when you do it by connecting with Students. Build positive relationships with your students by showing genuine care, empathy, and interest in their lives. Take time to understand their strengths, interests, and challenges. This connection can create a sense of belonging and motivate students to re-engage with learning.

Reigniting passion for learning in disengaged students requires creativity, empathy, and a personal touch. Start by building meaningful connections with each student, taking the time to understand their interests, strengths, and challenges. Tailor your teaching approach to incorporate hands-on activities, real-world relevance, and student choice, fostering a sense of autonomy and ownership over their learning. Introduce diverse perspectives and interdisciplinary connections to spark curiosity and relevance. Celebrate small victories and provide constructive feedback to boost confidence and motivation. Above all, be a supportive mentor, inspiring students to embrace learning as a lifelong journey filled with discovery and growth.

Creating a positive environment is essential for nurturing a love for learning. By fostering a supportive atmosphere where learners feel valued and respected, they are more likely to engage actively in the educational process. Encouraging curiosity and exploration within this environment allows individuals to discover their interests and develop a sense of ownership over their learning journey. Celebrating progress and achievements, no matter how small, reinforces a growth mindset and motivates learners to continue striving for success. Support from peer, further enhances the positive atmosphere, fostering a sense of community and shared learning experiences.

By encouraging self-reflection and identifying learning preferences, disengaged learners can regain their passion for learning. Setting realistic goals and adapting teaching strategies to suit individual needs are crucial steps in this process. Providing constructive feedback and celebrating learning milestones helps learners stay motivated and engaged. Through reflection and adaptation, educators can create a supportive environment where learners feel empowered to take ownership of their learning journey.
