FROM ISOLATION TO INTEGRATION: THE ROLE OF A POSITIVE CLASSROOM COMMUNITY IN DRIVING STUDENT MOTIVATION AND ENGAGEMENT
Abstract
This paper delves into the exploration of relatedness in motivation and subsequently examines the concept of a classroom community that fosters a sense of belonging and value among all students. By creating an environment where each student is considered an integral part of the group, this sense of community promotes mutual support and assistance as students collaborate towards shared goals. The research highlights the significance of a strong classroom community in enhancing student motivation and engagement, ultimately contributing to a more cohesive and productive learning experience. Through the establishment of a nurturing and inclusive environment, educators can cultivate a classroom community that empowers students to thrive academically and personally. This study sets the stage for further exploration of the strategies and practices that can be employed to create and sustain a positive classroom community.
