Stress free life is impossible. Similarly break free driving also not possible. Break in vehicles are not only to stop vehicle. It is to speed up vehicle. Having known that we have good control over a vehicle through break, we accelerate it. 

Similarly, 

Stress is a physical response of the body that switches to "fight" or 'flight' mode when it thinks it is under attack, releasing a complex mix of hormones and chemicals to protect the person.

There is always a misconception that stress is not good for you. 

Let's break the myth: Stress is not always a bad thing as there are several benefits to it. Moderate stress is normal and in fact, helps build your body's immunity if properly managed.

Stress helps you perform better under pressure and motivates to reach your goal. 

It can help you accomplish tasks more efficiently and can also boost memory. 

But remember:  if you are constantly under pressure, your mind and body may take a toll. A prolonged stressful condition or situation places a huge demand on your body's physical, mental and emotional energy, often leaving you drained. Stress accumulation can ruin your health in the long run. 

Everybody experiences stress, and it is unavoidable. But there are many ways you can be proactive and get rid of the tension that accumulates in the hustle and bustle of everyday life to improve your mood.

From one point of view, we know cultural activities or cocurricular activities in schools such as art, dance.....are meant for beating stress. Absolutely it is not. All are therapies. It cures and cares our soul. Recent research data shows, cancer patients can be taken care by these therapies.

2. Dancing a kind of meditation

Close your eyes, relax, breathe, concentrate within…be aware of your forehead, your eyes, your lips, your ears, next focus on your throat, your neck, your spine, your thighs, your calves, your feet. 

Draw your attention to your chest, your breathing, your abdomen, your upper arms, forearms and your hands, one by one.” 

This is what my meditation instructor tells me – “look within, let the thoughts flowing in your mind slowly go away – pull your attention back within”. 

And with every bit of yours concentrating on doing this – And finally you are able to achieve ten minutes of complete solitude and peace, focusing within, being aware of myself, my body parts, my breathing. 

A certain calmness takes over and you arr completely steady and still for a while. Now you have connected with yourself. 

Surprisingly dance has the same effect. Dance is a medidation, yoga and a journey from inner world to outer world. It is a complete workout.

4. Arts on Learning:

The Impact of the Arts on Learning that should be noted by every parent, teacher, and administrator:

• The arts reach students not normally reached, in ways and methods not normally used. (This leads to better student attendance and lower dropout rates.)

• It changes the learning environment to one of discovery. (This often re-ignites the love of learning in students tired of just being fed facts.)

• Students connect with each other better. (This often results in fewer fights, greater understanding of diversity, and greater peer support.)

• The arts provide challenges for students of all levels. (Each student can find his/her own level from basic to gifted.)

• Students learn to become sustained, self-directed learners. (The student does not just become an outlet for stored facts from direct instruction, but seeks to extend instruction to higher levels of proficiency.)

• The study of the fine arts positively impacts the learning of students of lower socioeconomic status as much or more than those of a higher socioeconomic status.

• Cosmos Ennu Kwaw - UN Educationist

For centuries, humans have understood the impact that the music, dance and other fine arts can have on the body, mind and soul. Now that we have the technology to track bodily responses like heart rate, brain activity, and breath rate we have proof of that impact. Music and art can reduce stress in so many ways. Of special interest to many people is the impact that the arts have on reducing stress. 

How Does Music ,Dance and Fine Arts Reduce Stress? 

Countless studies have shown that participating in music , dance and fine arts can manage stress and promote wellness. It also gives a way for people to express their feelings in a safe way especially when they can’t find the words to communicate it. 

Becoming completely engaged with your music, dance or fine arts making can also lower stress levels similar to the way meditation improves focus. Additionally, listening to slow quiet music can relax the mind and body by slowing the pulse and decreasing the levels of cortisol, the body’s main stress hormones.

It helps a lot. My son last year, was in class10. The ill fated 28th July, I had almost lost him to depression. He never showed any symptoms. But internally I believe he was broken. 

We are very kind parents who are ready to share with n listen to him. But he never liked our friendly attitude and wanted us to be reserved like other parents. 

However, he landed up in the hospital on 28th July with severe epilepsy attack. He had no pre history though. After 3 days he came to consciousness and when he was back he devoted himself to Music n football completely.  

He is absolutely fine now. Coping up well n finding solace n peace in music and games. That is the power of music n sports in healing.

Music, Art or Dance, or be it any such soft skill, it has been noticed that these things do what meditation does to a child. Nowadays it is very difficult to explain to children to meditate, but if they pickup any such soft skill they automatically not only meditate but also connect with themselves. They get time to introspect themselves and once they are able to do so they become sympathetic towards themselves and start having empathy towards others. All the emotions, which otherwise were dead while playing games on computers with going on killing anybody who comes in the way, thinking that he will use his lifeline or will come back to life, somewhere has a negative impact on the child's thinking process where the child seems to become destructive and emotionless(PERSONAL OPINION). But speaking about music etc., it brings out whatever is lying dormant. It brings out all his emotions and then the child learns to love the world, to see the other world. There was an era where we had all rap music and if you see today how the music has changed. Listen to Ritwiz or Jubin Nautiyal or Anup Jain, people have started loving these music obviously for some reason. Hence all the soft skill arts like music, dance or any other art form helps a child to develop holistically and to connect with himself, with the world, with the nature and live in harmony with all.

I would like to share my experience with you all. In 2020 during the pandemic I had attended a webinar on the topic ' Mental health and human phycology- during Covid19 spread '. At the conclusion we all participants were asked to paint or sketch,  or any other form of art that we would like to spend our time doing. First of all, to my amazement I spent 5-6 hours sketching.  (During that time we all were incurring the covid outbreak) Those hours had helped me with preventing my over thinking and stress due to the ongoing problem,   but also healed  my soul too.

A government sponsored Raga Research Center, Claims that intense research proves that Raga Shankarabharanam aids to cure mental illness: Ananda Bhairavi has a positive effect on hypertension, Bilahari reduces stomach problems, and Bhairavi reduces back pain.

Drawing and paintings are like an another langauge, with one picture speaks 100 words and expressions too, where some time words fails, where drama helps,  expression speaks than words do. 

Each tools have pros and cons, no need to Compare. Students mainly from 9-10-11- 12 or after too very stesses and sure arts, drawing music, playing drums, veena..... All induce mind calm and relax the body and mind. 

So we have to give a room, space for them to exercise, and not making them  as marks production unit . 

Many school dropouts too shine wel later. 

Schools is a platform to to built a charactor, discipline, friendship, behaviour,langauge communication extra then score or not score in the exams.

I will share my experience. Once all the students who got very low Mark's in 11th std were put in one class for 12th as Intensive care class. In that class I had all problamatic students. One student who used to torture all the teachers. I was handling chemistry for that class.One day I took case history of all the students. I found that student who commented and gave problem to the teachers is very good in playing drums. I just appreciated that boy and I told him that you are going to play drums in the school Assembly when our class get the chance. He hesitated first and then told yes. He played the drums very nicely. I appreciated him in front of all the students and slowly he changed to maintain his publicity and  stopped commenting in all the classes and started focussing in his studies. Seeing this boy other students slowly changed their attitude.Now he is a famous Advocate.

Right from our ancient times, it can be observed that even the rulers of big empires indulged in acts of watching dancers exhibit their dancing skill and musicians exhibit their musical talents. These were the time for relaxing as far as these rulers were concerned. So it is a clear indicator that dance/music were used by the rulers to relieve themselves of their stress and relax. 

Now coming to present times, we can very well realize how some soothing music, elegant dance forms or works of fine arts have a mesmerizing effect on our brain causing our brain to relax. When we are indulged in watching such performances we generally go to a state of mind wherein our problems/stress etc. are forgotten atleast temporarily. That is the effect of dance/music/fine arts on our brain.

So it is a fact that dance, music, fine arts etc can really assist a person to be relieved of stress and act as a calming agent of a troubled mind. So we can use any of these to help overcome stress.

Infact the body produces feel good hormones like serotonin or other calming down hormones such as dopamine, endorphin etc. when we are enjoying music/dance etc. This is the biological impact of these art forms.

Teacher motivation

Teacher motivation

Purely motivational.....

Extrinsic and Intrinsic Teacher and student motivation in Government state board schools in India.

J O B....Joy Of Being.

Being a Job holder is a blessing. Above which the best of you are blessed with Govt Jobs. People say, Govt work is God's work.

Generally, People prefer to work in Govt institutions, but don't prefer for studies.

People prefer to travel in private sojourners, but never in Govt transports.

People prefer to study in Govt professional institutions for higher studies, but prefer not for school studies.

People prefer to open an account in Govt banks, but prefer to deposit funds in private banks.

People prefer to refer Govt laws and orders, but prefer to follow their own laws.

People prefer private hospitals for treatment, but not Govt hospitals.

What we pay for quality products in private, much better than this a Govt can give you with less price.....still we don't prefer.

Well I wonder! A private limited can offer their services in a better way, then why not Govt.

150 Cr peoples, 150 Cr working brains,  300 Cr working hands in one nation. But are we behind its growth and development?

Please think over it!!!!

Providing a quality education for all lies at the heart of the NEP Agenda. 

Achieving this goal will require ‘well-qualified, trained, adequately remunerated, and above all motivated teachers’ 

Mere qualification may not serve the purpose.. Experience may serve a little. And Motivation may serve its full purpose. 

Our quest is that who and how can a teacher be motivated. A teacher knows well how to teach and how to motivate/prepare someone to learn. But a motivated teacher know apart from how to teach to how to learn and make them to learn. Please do remember: Which is important? Learning or Teaching. Both are processes. Learning takes first.

However, global trends indicate that teacher motivation has been falling in recent years, leading to teacher shortages. 

With motivation playing an important role in teacher performance, reversing this trend is critical to maintaining quality teaching and thus positively impacting student learning outcomes.

We know it...Both high-and low-income countries around the world face issues in both attracting and retaining quality teachers, due largely to poor motivation and incentive structures.

Data show that teacher salaries have fallen compared to other occupations with similar educational requirements, leading the profession to suffer a drop in prestige.

In many low-income countries, teachers are facing rising pupil/teacher ratios (PTRs) and deteriorating working conditions due to increased student enrolment rates 

Additional factors contributing to lowered teacher motivation include lack of support from leadership, poor accountability, inadequate living conditions, or violence in schools.

Such issues may lead to increased teacher absenteeism and attrition, meaning students receive fewer hours of instruction.

With teacher motivation driven by a combination of intrinsic and extrinsic factors, finding the proper incentives to influence them is complex and multifaceted.

While many systems have experimented with motivating teachers through bonus pay for meeting specific targets, results have been mixed for such direct extrinsic motivation.

Instead, research shows that allowing teachers more agency to work towards different promotion opportunities can offer a strong incentive to remain in the profession.

Measures that improve teachers’ professionalism, such as collaboration and continuous professional development, have also been shown to improve motivation.

School leaders can play a vital role in inspiring teachers, by offering support, consistent standards, and effective evaluation and accountability structures. Such support from school leaders can further improve professionalism and reduce rates of teacher absenteeism.

¶ In short by points:

1. Financial shortage or resources demotivate teachers:

In countries where salaries place teachers at or below the poverty line, or where a teacher’s salary is well below that of professions requiring similar levels of qualifications, research shows that few other policy options can improve motivation among teachers without low pay being addressed first.

2. Inadequate teaching-learning environment:

Poor working conditions also affect teacher motivation. Limited education budgets may also lead to insufficient resources for school infrastructure or teaching materials. 

3. Weak teacher management:

School leaders often do not have suitable training or background experience to provide teachers with proper support or oversight. This can lead to teachers losing trust in their leadership and the established system, lowering expectations and motivation.

4. Career flexibility

Career structures offering more options and choice can improve teacher motivation, but such structures are complicated to implement and typically lead to upheaval in established systems.

5. Gender:

While women make up the majority of the global teaching force, they are underrepresented at the primary school level, as well as in school assistant leadership and management positions because of gender. 

This lack of opportunity for career progression can have demotivating effects on women teachers seeking professional growth and advancement.

6. Collobration:

Teacher networks have been found to increase the amount of time teachers spend in the classroom, leading to gains in actual teaching time.

Collaboration can lead directly to senior teachers providing important professional development for their junior colleagues.

Professional development should include relevant topics that teachers can use, otherwise it could have a demotivating effect by seeming to teachers to be a waste of time and resources.

7. Include teacher's inputs in decision making:

To better encourage teachers to feel they have a stake in the education system, they should be involved in decision-making processes whenever possible. 

Seeking teacher input at both the school and system level can lead to higher feelings of agency and improve overall motivation.

8. Societal and cultural perceptions:

In many parts of our country, teaching is considered a profession of last resort and does not enjoy the same esteem as other occupations requiring similar levels of education. 

This makes recruiting and retaining quality candidates especially difficult. Young teachers often leave the profession after only a few years to seek opportunities in other fields offering higher pay or more prestige.

Improving incentives to attract and retain teachers that are better qualified can shift these views, but changing perceptions can take a long time and requires ongoing effort.

9. Accountabilty and feedback:

School heads cannot expect to have motivated and high-performing teachers without setting out proper guidance and expectations. 

Written standards with indicators of success to strive towards can provide teachers with direction and motivation.

¶ Conclusion:

Above all give due respect and response and defined responsibilities to teachers to refrain our society from all sorts of Pollution.

Teacher Motivation

• NAMAGIRI

I think most of them in this group might have studied in Government schools.The seeds sown by the Govt school teachers, We are today standing with pride. Studying amidst mixed group of students in the Govt school made us to learn the values, love our friends, respect elders. During Paper Valuation, We have a chance to meet the present Government school teachers. They are meticulously planning taking into mind of all kind of students and training them with excellence. When I went for Invigilation to Perambur Govt HSS, I saw one wing named after the Alumnus student IAS officer. But everywhere those teachers who work sincerely are producing the result.

Nowadays In private schools,More administration work is given to the teachers to maintain the record. Same information is asked throughout the year.After every test,we have to fill the form. Private school teachers are doing lot of work apart from Academics. Now after Corona, Many teachers have resigned the job and the vacancies are not filled. As we have checking committee for Engineering colleges,We have to do for schools also. To improve the Quality of the school, We could have a common checking committee of Senior teachers to check all the schools infra structure, Teachers Qualification, Whether they are paid properly,and all the requirements of the students. Teachers should concentrate only on teaching. But here the same teacher is doing lot of work .

Govt school teachers are given duties during the voting period and they are also going often to conduct TNPSC exams, SSC exams etc...But I observed that Govt school teachers have less stress than Private school teachers. Private school teachers have to take coaching from the beginning of the year till they are pushed to the exam hall Where Govt school teachers dont do this. Teachers after going for Public Invigilation in Private schools, they are forced to come to their schools even at 3.30pm to coach their students. Teachers are also tuned to that.

There are teachers who do wonderful work to lift the flag of their school.But those teachers who really work well sometimes are not recognized by the authorities. I have a lot of Alumni students not just because of just teaching chemistry but teaching subject plus values. So many students I have earned as Gods gift which is precious than School gift. At one point If we dont have proper leader to analyze and find out who is sincerely working or not, these teachers will not be known.And now a days there is lot of competition that even between teachers one is not able to accept others goodness. And teachers when they finish their 10 years,15 years, 20, 25 and 30 years, Authorities should appreciate them and honour them for their service.

• Dr. Balasubramainan

My self, Mostly worked in Private schools sector in India and Gulf countries. 

Most of the teachera would be scremming without knowing their do's and don'ts, What to do, What not to do. 

And school day today activites. 

Whom to contact for the applying leave, Who will attend emergency situations in class room activities.

Are they trained how to prepare the acadamic progress report card. 

If any long absentees what to do, how to react so on..... Can prepare like a manuel. 

Instead of sending teachers straight to the classroom, better they can be given a interneship or just observing some class room activities as a sample.

Most of the teachers are very good in teaching or teaching lessons , and many challanges are from admin areas and parents. 

So better, very minimum sections wise or sector wise ( like class 1-2-3-4+5 one group, 6-7-8 one group, classes 9-10 one group so on. 

So teachers can also feel better, get  support and some students use to be a probalamatic in certain periods or with certain teachers, teachers won't get a chance to do brainstorming, how other teachers are managing, and never senior teachers make a fun of freshers, humiliation so on and should work like a team. 

Most of the non maths teachers might have a difficulty in doing average, class average, students attendance average, monthly average so on, and surely need a guidance of attendance, and attendence register management training. 

Either private or governement, teachers should plan for short annual tour, get together....to have a good bond and to retain friendship and teacher as well.

If they are collecting provident fund, or any insurances , please make sure they are following proper governement rules . 

Nowadays many are working with multi task, so better arrange yoga or meditation or some games for teachers too for relaxation. 

If any mistakes or wrong or errors from teachers, principals or chairman, kindly please treat like teachers and not like a prisoners or humiliate them mainly not in front of students or with co-staffs. 

Many students have more rights than the teachers, these are all comments, my experience of private school, and I don't have  experience in governement schools.  Please  comment and correct me.

Teacher Motivation

For this to happen, a teacher need to be intrinsically motivated & should feel passionate about her/his profession so that external factors have no effect on her/ his mental make up whatsoever it may be.

இது நடக்க, ஒரு ஆசிரியர் உள்ளார்ந்த உந்துதலுடன் இருக்க வேண்டும் மற்றும் அவள்/அவரது தொழில் மீது ஆர்வமாக இருக்க வேண்டும், இதனால் வெளிப்புற காரணிகள் அவள்/அவரது மன அமைப்பில் எந்த விளைவையும் ஏற்படுத்தாது.

ಇದು ಸಂಭವಿಸಲು, ಒಬ್ಬ ಶಿಕ್ಷಕ ಆಂತರಿಕವಾಗಿ ಪ್ರೇರೇಪಿಸಲ್ಪಡಬೇಕು ಮತ್ತು ಅವಳ/ಅವನ ವೃತ್ತಿಯ ಬಗ್ಗೆ ಭಾವೋದ್ರೇಕವನ್ನು ಹೊಂದಿರಬೇಕು ಆದ್ದರಿಂದ ಬಾಹ್ಯ ಅಂಶಗಳು ಅವಳ/ಅವನ ಮಾನಸಿಕ ರಚನೆಯ ಮೇಲೆ ಯಾವುದೇ ಪರಿಣಾಮ ಬೀರುವುದಿಲ್ಲ.

• Ms. Sangeetha Thyagarajan

It should be noted, whether govt.  or pvt. School, that there is a disconnect between students and Teacher's teaching.

It is highly evident that the LECTURE METHOD is insufficient and not meeting standards today.

Yet, most schools still follow it due to lack of funds or lack of innovative ideas of teaching.

So, I sincerely believe:

* Training teachers on the  innovative and modern ways of teaching and testing is essential

* Using age old methods that don't work and then blaming students for showing lack of interest is idiocracy of teachers. 

* Updating textbooks once every 5 years should be done by Govt./CBSE

So, making videos of modern teaching methods with available resources is something compulsory for govt. Schools.

These teachers must keep themselves updated and must be held accountable for the admissions,  teaching & learning  and results of their school.

அரசாங்க பள்ளியா  அல்லது பிரைவேட் பள்ளியா? என்பதை கவனத்தில் கொள்ள வேண்டும்.மாணவர்களுக்கும் ஆசிரியரின் கற்பித்தலுக்கும் இடையே துண்டிப்பு உள்ளது.

விரிவுரை முறை போதுமானதாக இல்லை மற்றும் இன்று தரநிலைகளை பூர்த்தி செய்யவில்லை என்பது மிகவும் தெளிவாக உள்ளது.

ஆயினும்கூட, பெரும்பாலான பள்ளிகள் நிதிப் பற்றாக்குறை அல்லது கற்பித்தல் பற்றிய புதுமையான யோசனைகள் இல்லாததால் இதைப் பின்பற்றுகின்றன.

எனவே, நான் உண்மையாக நம்புகிறேன்:

 * கற்பித்தல் மற்றும் சோதனையின் புதுமையான மற்றும் நவீன வழிகளில் ஆசிரியர்களுக்கு பயிற்சி அளிப்பது அவசியம்

 * பழங்காலப் பழமையான முறைகளைப் பயன்படுத்தி, பயனில்லை என்று மாணவர்களைக் குறை கூறுவது ஆசிரியர்களின் முட்டாள்தனம்.

 * பாடப்புத்தகங்களை 5 ஆண்டுகளுக்கு ஒருமுறை புதுப்பித்தல் அரசு/சிபிஎஸ்இ மூலம் செய்யப்பட வேண்டும்

எனவே, கிடைக்கக்கூடிய ஆதாரங்களைக் கொண்டு நவீன கற்பித்தல் முறைகளின் வீடியோக்களை உருவாக்குவது அரசாங்கத்தின் கட்டாயமான கடமைகளுள் ஒன்று.  

இந்த ஆசிரியர்கள் தங்களைத் தாங்களே புதுப்பித்துக் கொள்ள வேண்டும் மற்றும் அவர்களது பள்ளியின் சேர்க்கை, கற்பித்தல் மற்றும் கற்றல் மற்றும் முடிவுகளுக்குப் பொறுப்பேற்க வேண்டும்.

Teacher Motivation

• Ms. Sonal Kathuria

Financial motivation is definitely needed but it is the final output of what you ultimately do to achieve it. However I feel regular acknowledgment works definitely well to motivate teachers to help them do better. 

As a leader I think I will walk hand in hand with my team respecting their efforts and sharing regular feedback and suggestions continue making things better, increasing the work efficiency too.

Teacher motivation has been failing maybe because these days teachers are not passionate about the profession they are in. I'm sorry I might be wrong but we need to awake the inner instinct in teachers of being the "Guru" In actual terms rather than just being a teacher working from 8:30- 2:30. We need to nurture our teachers as well.

Teacher motivation

• Mr. T. Rajesh

Teacher's motivation is an important aspect for our education system to become professional and result oriented. There are several factors which influence a teacher to be motivated. Given below are few of the factors which in my view influence a teacher to be motivated.

1. Love/Passion for teaching

If a teacher works only for the monetary gain, then in all probability that teacher will lose motivation after few years. But those teachers who have a genuine love/passion to mound their students will remain motivated throughout their career.

2. Good/Decent remuneration 

A teacher should receive a decent remuneration with which the family can be maintained in a reasonable manner. Unless this happens  the teacher might lose motivation because the financial constraints of the family will surely lead to mental stress which ultimately will deprive the teacher of motivation.

3. Support/Appreciation from management & colleagues.

This again is imporrant because as a human being we all are somehow influenced by appreciation and recognitions.The appreciation and recognitions from fellow colleagues and management will invariably act as the apt tool to motivate a teacher to perform better than before.

4. Support from parents.

A teacher will lose motivation if the parents show no support or criticize/blame the teacher for introducing innovative methods of teaching. Hence the support of parents too is essential to remain motivated

5. Support/Respect from present & past students. This again is an element which will motivate a teacher.

ஆசிரியர் உந்துதல்

 நமது கல்வி முறை தொழில்முறை மற்றும் முடிவு சார்ந்ததாக மாறுவதற்கு ஆசிரியரின் ஊக்கம் ஒரு முக்கிய அம்சமாகும்.  ஒரு ஆசிரியர் உந்துதல் பெறுவதற்குப் பல காரணிகள் உள்ளன.  எனது பார்வையில் ஒரு ஆசிரியரை உந்துதலாக பாதிக்கும் சில காரணிகள் கீழே கொடுக்கப்பட்டுள்ளன.

 1. கற்பிப்பதில் அன்பு/ஆர்வம்

 ஒரு ஆசிரியர் பண ஆதாயத்திற்காக மட்டுமே வேலை செய்தால், சில ஆண்டுகளுக்குப் பிறகு அந்த ஆசிரியர் ஊக்கத்தை இழக்க நேரிடும்.  ஆனால், தங்கள் மாணவர்களை மேலோங்கச் செய்வதில் உண்மையான அன்பு/ஆர்வம் உள்ள ஆசிரியர்கள், அவர்களின் வாழ்க்கை முழுவதும் உந்துதலாக இருப்பார்கள்.

 2. நல்ல/கண்ணியமான ஊதியம்

 ஒரு ஆசிரியர் ஒழுக்கமான ஊதியத்தைப் பெற வேண்டும், அதன் மூலம் குடும்பத்தை நியாயமான முறையில் பராமரிக்க முடியும்.  இது நிகழாவிட்டால், ஆசிரியர் ஊக்கத்தை இழக்க நேரிடும், ஏனெனில் குடும்பத்தின் நிதிக் கட்டுப்பாடுகள் நிச்சயமாக மன அழுத்தத்திற்கு வழிவகுக்கும், இது இறுதியில் ஆசிரியரின் ஊக்கத்தை இழக்கச் செய்யும்.

 3. நிர்வாகம் மற்றும் சக ஊழியர்களிடமிருந்து ஆதரவு/பாராட்டுதல்.

 இது மீண்டும் முக்கியமானது, ஏனென்றால் ஒரு மனிதனாக நாம் அனைவரும் எப்படியாவது பாராட்டு மற்றும் அங்கீகாரங்களால் பாதிக்கப்படுகிறோம். சக ஊழியர்கள் மற்றும் நிர்வாகத்தின் பாராட்டு மற்றும் அங்கீகாரம் ஒரு ஆசிரியரை முன்பை விட சிறப்பாக செயல்பட தூண்டுவதற்கான பொருத்தமான கருவியாக எப்போதும் செயல்படும்.

 4. பெற்றோரின் ஆதரவு.

 புதுமையான கற்பித்தல் முறைகளை அறிமுகப்படுத்தியதற்காக பெற்றோர்கள் எந்த ஆதரவையும் காட்டாவிட்டால் அல்லது ஆசிரியரை விமர்சித்தால்/குற்றம் சாட்டினால் ஒரு ஆசிரியர் ஊக்கத்தை இழப்பார்.  எனவே உந்துதலாக இருக்க பெற்றோரின் ஆதரவும் அவசியம்

 5. தற்போதைய மற்றும் கடந்த கால மாணவர்களிடமிருந்து ஆதரவு/மரியாதை.  இது மீண்டும் ஒரு ஆசிரியரை ஊக்குவிக்கும் ஒரு உறுப்பு.

അധ്യാപകന്റെ പ്രചോദനം

 നമ്മുടെ വിദ്യാഭ്യാസ സമ്പ്രദായം പ്രൊഫഷണലും ഫലാധിഷ്ഠിതവുമാക്കുന്നതിന് അധ്യാപകരുടെ പ്രചോദനം ഒരു പ്രധാന വശമാണ്.  ഒരു അധ്യാപകനെ പ്രചോദിപ്പിക്കുന്നതിന് സ്വാധീനിക്കുന്ന നിരവധി ഘടകങ്ങളുണ്ട്.  എന്റെ കാഴ്ചപ്പാടിൽ ഒരു അധ്യാപകനെ പ്രചോദിപ്പിക്കാൻ സ്വാധീനിക്കുന്ന ചില ഘടകങ്ങൾ ചുവടെ നൽകിയിരിക്കുന്നു.

 1. അധ്യാപനത്തോടുള്ള സ്നേഹം/അഭിനിവേശം

 ഒരു അദ്ധ്യാപകൻ പണ ലാഭത്തിനായി മാത്രം പ്രവർത്തിക്കുന്നുവെങ്കിൽ, എല്ലാ സാധ്യതകളിലും ആ അധ്യാപകന് കുറച്ച് വർഷങ്ങൾക്ക് ശേഷം പ്രചോദനം നഷ്ടപ്പെടും.  എന്നാൽ തങ്ങളുടെ വിദ്യാർത്ഥികളെ കുന്നുകൂടാൻ ആത്മാർത്ഥമായ സ്നേഹം / അഭിനിവേശം ഉള്ള അധ്യാപകർ അവരുടെ കരിയറിൽ ഉടനീളം പ്രചോദിതരായി തുടരും.

 2. നല്ല/മാന്യമായ പ്രതിഫലം

 ഒരു അധ്യാപകന് മാന്യമായ പ്രതിഫലം ലഭിക്കണം, അതിലൂടെ ന്യായമായ രീതിയിൽ കുടുംബം പോറ്റാൻ കഴിയും.  ഇത് സംഭവിച്ചില്ലെങ്കിൽ അധ്യാപകന് പ്രചോദനം നഷ്ടപ്പെടാം, കാരണം കുടുംബത്തിന്റെ സാമ്പത്തിക പരിമിതികൾ തീർച്ചയായും മാനസിക പിരിമുറുക്കത്തിലേക്ക് നയിക്കും, ഇത് ആത്യന്തികമായി അധ്യാപകന്റെ പ്രചോദനം നഷ്ടപ്പെടുത്തും.

 3. മാനേജ്‌മെന്റിൽ നിന്നും സഹപ്രവർത്തകരിൽ നിന്നും പിന്തുണ/അഭിനന്ദനം.

 ഇത് വീണ്ടും പ്രധാനമാണ്, കാരണം ഒരു മനുഷ്യനെന്ന നിലയിൽ നാമെല്ലാവരും എങ്ങനെയെങ്കിലും അഭിനന്ദനങ്ങളും അംഗീകാരങ്ങളും സ്വാധീനിക്കപ്പെടുന്നു. സഹപ്രവർത്തകരിൽ നിന്നും മാനേജ്‌മെന്റിൽ നിന്നുമുള്ള അഭിനന്ദനങ്ങളും അംഗീകാരങ്ങളും ഒരു അധ്യാപകനെ മുമ്പത്തേക്കാൾ മികച്ച പ്രകടനം നടത്താൻ പ്രേരിപ്പിക്കുന്നതിനുള്ള ഉചിതമായ ഉപകരണമായി മാറാതെ പ്രവർത്തിക്കും.

 4. മാതാപിതാക്കളിൽ നിന്നുള്ള പിന്തുണ.

 നൂതന അധ്യാപന രീതികൾ അവതരിപ്പിച്ചതിന് രക്ഷിതാക്കൾ യാതൊരു പിന്തുണയും കാണിക്കുകയോ അധ്യാപകനെ വിമർശിക്കുകയോ കുറ്റപ്പെടുത്തുകയോ ചെയ്താൽ ഒരു അധ്യാപകന് പ്രചോദനം നഷ്ടപ്പെടും.  അതിനാൽ പ്രചോദിതരായിരിക്കാൻ മാതാപിതാക്കളുടെ പിന്തുണയും അത്യന്താപേക്ഷിതമാണ്

 5. നിലവിലുള്ളതും പഴയതുമായ വിദ്യാർത്ഥികളിൽ നിന്നുള്ള പിന്തുണ/ബഹുമാനം.  ഇത് വീണ്ടും ഒരു അധ്യാപകനെ പ്രചോദിപ്പിക്കുന്ന ഒരു ഘടകമാണ്.
