Motivation

Question: Do you think it is generally true that first graders have more curiosity and are more motivated to learn than sixth graders or high school students? If so, can you explain the decline?


Answer: Yes I think younger children are more curious and also more motivated to learn because they are curious about what is going to happen, excited about a whole new environment and are initially just more interested in school.  After awhile, school seems to become more of a job that students see as something that they have to do and start to lose the excitement and interest to learn.
