Must STEM Instructors Motivate?

Abstract

It is a commonly held belief that students will not master the tenets of STEM disciplines unless they put forth the effort to and develop the conceptual ideas presented in the classroom. In this discussion forum participants are invited to share successes and failures in their attempt to motivate, inspire, urge, coerce, cajole and/or demand their students extend the energy necessary to learn. The experience of the moderator has been in secondary and college level Mathematics, Physics and Computer Science but the discussion is open to all levels of STEM education.
