Others, however, need to see the concept demonstrated in several ways. Some children are more visually oriented than others. They must see how everything works, not just read about it. Differences in attention spans demand different teaching approaches. For example, a teacher has to adapt his methods for the child with a short attention span because he needs several breaks during the lesson.
Motivation also plays an important role in the learning process.
The teacher must know his student in order to motivate his student. Children differ in their motivation. The very thought of pleasing their parents may encourage some children to do their best in many situations. Others will be motivated by rewards for their work. Certainly, the cold should be that a child will do his best to please God, but most children appreciate and need an occasional reward, whether tangible or intangible.
