jere brophy  Known for his emphasis on motivation to learn, especially for students who struggle in school My research has been focused on getting everybody away from this ‘fun’ notion and toward more of an emphasis on learning. I like to use words like meaningful, worthwhile, satisfying, valued, appreciated. Those are the right kind of words to describe the affective response of children when they are learning the way they ought to be learning. There might be fun in there but that is not the main point. Teachers are not camp counselors. Brophy, 1998 the one five o
