Student Disinterest: Is It Curable?

Disinterested students – they are easy to spot. They come into class, drop their books, and sit at their desks. Indifference is written all over their faces – and all over the work they do. Most teachers are always seeking some ways to re-engage those disinterested students in the learning process.

The following are some fresh ideas to tackles the sticky problem of student disinterest.

1. 
   __ Work with what you’ve got. Group projects will meet those students’ need to be part of the group. Create projects that tap into their innate desire to make a difference in their world. Check out a few of the many Service Learning Web Resources available or connect learning themes to such social justice. This generation loves to interact. Capitalize on that by integrating online bulletin boards into your assignments. They’ll be busy writing that they won’t even realize they are learning.
   
2. 
   __ Enlist students’ opinions when possible. Provide plenty of opportunities for student choice in the way they learn and in the ways they are allowed to demonstrate what they know. That will encourage them to learn more.
   
3. 
   __ Create a bulletin board that shouts “Super Students”. Let students choose the work they are most proud of to display.
   
4. 
   __ Regularly provide rubrics at the beginning of an assignment, so students know what they have to do to achieve. Show that you want to help your students. Students will be encouraged to make an effort if they know you are willing to work with them.
   
5. 
   __ Consider publishing students’ work online. Nothing seems to motivate students quite as much as knowing that their work will have an extended audience. Encourage administrators to make a special effort to work with troublesome students. They can offer extra love and support.
   

1. 
   Make sure you meet your students’ learning expectations.
   
2. 
   Provide students with healthy food supplies.
   
3. 
   Turn learners’ weaknesses into strength.
   
4. 
   Reward students.
   
5. 
   Offer extra money for project work.

   Organize ‘no-disinterest’ campaign.

   Engage students in participation.
