Motivation

Table 4.3.16 and Figure 4.3.12 show that 5^th grade teachers were likely to perceive that
Practical work, Individual help, Whole-class discussion and Group discussion promoted
motivation more than their pupils. As for enjoyment, pupils perceived only Teacher
explanation and Reading a textbook more positively. These differences were very small.
