The Log as a Tool for Stimulating Learning Motivation

Abstract

In our teaching, we have been increasingly confronted with the phenomenon of student demotivation. Leaving aside the multitude of socio-economic factors, we try to find, at the micro level, a viable solution to diminish this phenomenon. Starting from the premise that the creation of a ”log” (during a task) would stimulate learning motivation, an experimental type of research was achieved, which took place during the classes from two different subject matters attended by different year students, in the academic year 2016-2017. The obtained results confirmed the hypothesis and constitute a source both for optimizing the didactic approach and for starting other investigations.
