Nourishing student enthusiasm

Continuing the discussion of The Progress Principle.

The research showed that intrinsic motivation blossomed with a few gestures of interpersonal support. They are called the four major nourishers.

  1. Respect.
  2. Encouragement.
  3. Emotional support.
  4. Affiliation.

The first three can be rare in a business environment but are common in schools. Occasionally one will find a teacher who treats students disrespectfully, but it is relatively rare.

Affiliation is the actions that develop bonds of trust, appreciation and affection among those working together. Developing affiliation is particularly important when the group is not located together. In a business environment, it means building bonds with folks located in remote offices and frequent travelers. In a school, it means taking extra time to build bonds with online students and with students who may share only one class. Bond among members of a collaborative group reduce interpersonal conflicts and encourage the free flow of ideas. So, have some fun together!
