Description

CMG3701 Assignment 2 Memo | Due 28 May 2025. All questions fully answered. Scenario: Adapted from CMG study guide and prescribed book (1st ed., 2019) Ms. Peterson was a dedicated and innovative educator who recognised the importance of motivation in fostering a dynamic and engaging learning environment. She believed motivation was pivotal to learners’ academic success and personal development. To cultivate intrinsic and extrinsic motivation, she implemented strategies encouraging goal setting, self-regulation and perseverance among her learners. Understanding that a structured yet flexible classroom environment enhanced learner participation, she actively involved learners in co-creating classroom rules and expectations. This approach empowered learners to take ownership of their learning environment, and fostered responsibility and self-discipline in them. She also used diverse teaching methodologies such as project-based learning, peer collaboration and differentiated instruction, to accommodate multiple intelligences and learning preferences. Ms. Peterson valued positive reinforcement and provided timely feedback to enhance learners’ self-efficacy. She integrated real-world applications into her lessons, making learning relevant and meaningful. In addition, she established strong educator–learner relationships by demonstrating empathy, active listening and open communication. She encouraged cultural inclusivity and socialisation by incorporating intercultural exchanges and collaborative activities. To further enrich the learning experience, Ms. Peterson designed her classroom to be aesthetically stimulating and conducive to learning. Visual aids, interactive displays and flexible seating arrangements optimised engagement. She also recognised the importance of parental involvement, and worked closely with families to bridge home and school learning experiences. Through these holistic efforts, Ms. Peterson successfully nurtured a learning environment in which learners felt motivated, valued and capable of achieving their full potential.  Question 1 1.1.
