In the current era, when information is accessible to all, students are less motivated to invest in long learning processes. Thus, teachers need to focus on education while developing along the way their students' self-fulfillment that is based on realistic self-awareness. By developing students' motivation to delve into the information they can easily access, students also learn to develop their own thinking and understanding of the same information everyone has. The question is how to develop self-awareness. This year-long case study applied teaching processes based on the Mediated Learning Experience approach to 16 fourth-grade students via four of their teachers. Focus groups, individual interviews, and observations were used to collect the data, which then underwent discourse analysis. The teachers indicated that, by basing their teaching on building reciprocity and meaningful learning processes according to the Mediated Learning Experience criteria, they better understood the unique self-awareness that each student developed. Their understanding helped them to enhance their students' internal motivation, and maintain an improved atmosphere in class.
