  4. Why is motivation so important

  5. Self-determination theory (SDT) • Focuses on the social-contextual conditions that facilitate the natural process of self-motivation. • In order for self-motivation to be effective it is important that our students three innate psychological needs are met:

  6. Determining what kind of motivation is being exhibited: either self-motivation or external regulation is the major focus of SDT • SDT wants to foster positive development tendencies, but it is also very realistic to consider social environments that can contravene those tendencies.

  7. Intrinsic Motivation • Intrinsic motivation is inherent. We’re born with the tendency to seek out novelty and challenges, explore, and learn. • It is natural for us to be curious, even without rewards. • The challenge is eliciting and sustaining these natural conditions so that students remain motivated while in and out of the learning environment

  8. Are your students’ needs met? • Remember the 3 Needs?: Competence, Autonomy, & Relatedness • According to the Cognitive Evaluation Theory (CET), in order for intrinsic motivation to be evident, students must experience competence and feel as if their behavior is self-determined. • As teachers we should foster an autonomy supportive approach rather than a controlling one so that students don’t lose interest and learn less effectively.

  9. Social environments & Intrinsic motivation • According to Ryan and Deci, social environments can facilitate or forestall intrinsic motivation by supporting versus thwarting people’s innate psychological needs.

  10. Extrinsic motivation • Performance of an activity in order to attain some separable outcome • Example: Homework Completion

  11. Types of Extrinsic motivation

  12. How do we promote Autonomous Regulation • Extrinsically motivated behaviors are typically interesting. People perform these actions because: • Prompted • Its been modeled for them • Valued by significant others whom they feel attached or related to • RELATEDNESS IS KEY!!!!

  13. Key points • Identify where students are and what type of motivation they need • Intrinsic Motivation: student’s are born with it, but it dwindles the older they get • Although students weren’t born with extrinsic motivation it can still have a positive impact the more autonomous it is. • If the 3 Psychological needs are met and students are supported they are able to develop appropriately • Be mindful of the environmental challenges and potential disruptions • Additional Reading: “Self-Determination Theory and the Facilitation of Intrinsic Motivation, Social Development, and Well-Being” by Richard Ryan and Edward Deci
