Strategy Dimension
One of the very best ways to increase student motivation is to teach them the cognitive strategies
they need to succeed. It is impossible for students to have a high expectation of success if they don’t know
the strategies needed to study effectively. In fact, teaching cognitive strategies may be one of the very most
effective ways of promoting motivation. Students who learn strategies will come to understand that success
is to be attributed to good strategy use. They will believe that if they lack the strategies to succeed at a task,
it is certainly possible for them to learn these strategies. They develop a strong expectation of success for
nearly any task that they undertake.
