Cognitive research shows that student motivation, perception, comprehension, and recall is improved by using a variety of instructional strategies. After a discussion of how individuals learn through cognitive processing, this paper suggests the use of a variety of strategies for motivating students and enhancing learning. As a particular example, cooperative learning groups are described in detail. In these groups students assume responsibility not only for their own learning but also the learning of others.
