Using appreciative inquiry as a model to encourage students to become active learners in mathematics

Abstract

This research project was based on the concepts of positive psychology and Appreciative Inquiry as a model to encourage students to become self-motivated lifelong learners. Students were given the opportunity to explore and reflect on their personal strengths and learn ways to excel in their educational careers by using their strengths in their daily lives. Classroom activities focused on positive results and remarks instead of focusing on the negative and poor choices that were made.
