- Duration: 3 hours
The learner is expected to have the motivational capacity to activate others.
The learner should be able to:
- recognize the role of motivation which drives a person to work in a certain way to achieve desired goals
- explain the fundamental rules of interaction and social behaviour
- describe different mottivation techniques
- apply motivation theories
- analyze performance problems
This Workshop includes 3 activities. The first activity introduces the essence of motivation and the main motivational theories to the VAT students. The second activity presents some motivation techniques. And the third activity focuses on approaches to analyzing performance problems. Finally, there is a short online quiz that allows the self-assessment of the trainees.
This workshop aims at familiarising the VET students with the concept of motivation. At the end of this module, students will be able to explain the concept of motivation and the factors that motivate people’s behaviour. During the first activity, the trainees will get acquainted with the fundamental motivational theories. Knowing the different theories helps trainees understand some aspects of their behavior and the behavior of others. During the second activity, different motivation techniques will be presented, the conditions under which they can be applied. In the third activity, students will learn how to identify problems in implementation and how to solve them.
Experiential workshops may entail a form of resistance by the participants as their active participation is required. Thus, if the participants are distant, a couple of ice breaking activities may be required. However, every experienced trainer knows how to deal worth such situations. Furthermore, some concepts presented may need more details for the participants to achieve the learning outcomes, which is why the partnership provides additional resources.
