Motivation – An internal state that arouses, directs, and maintains behavior.
Extrinsic Motivation – Motivation brought about by punishments or bribes, etc.
Intrinsic Motivation – Natural desire to learn or seek out challenges, etc.
Needs, Goals, and Beliefs, pages 466-481
Mastery Goal – improve and learn no matter how awkward you appear.
Performance Goal – Goal to look good in the eyes of others.
Attribution theory
Locus – internal or external
Stability – whether the cause is the same across time and different situations
Controllability – whether a person can control the cause
Learned Helplessness – expectation, that based of previous situations, all efforts will lead to failure. (This is my problem!!)
Learned Optimism (not in text) – I'm assuming it would mean previous experiences would lead to self confidence.
Entity view of ability – assumes that ability is a stable, uncontrollable trait.
Incremental view of ability – suggests that ability is unstable and controllable.
Self-efficacy – beliefs about personal competence such as contributing failure to a lack of effort in something you think you are good at.
Self-worth – Reflections your own emotional evaluation of yourself.
Self-determination Theory
Need for Autonomy – Desire for own wishes rather than bribes.
Need for Competence – Need to feel like you can do things.
Need for Relatedness – Need to feel connected to others.
Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs – 7 levels of needs that range from survival to intellectual achievement.
Interest, Curiosity, and Emotions, pages 482-490
Arousal – psychological and physical reactions that affect us to feel alert, wide awake, excited, etc.
Anxiety – general uneasiness, tension.
Summary (Write one paragraph to help you remember the key points of this section):
Motivation in something internal that promotes specific goals and achievements. I've heard people often reference the Self-determination Theory. In thinking about parenting, motivation is extremely interesting to me. Do you ever try to motivate kids with fear or do you try and jump right to intrinsic motivation. How do you teach intrinsic motivation. I'm also trying to figure out how to motivate myself. I like how self-worth was lumped into motivation. I often think less of myself than I should and often find it difficult to get motivated to do things. I've read numerous motivation articles, but nothing has stuck with me. I'm not even motivated enough to try some of the motivation techniques. How do you get a student to reach the potential you know they are capable of? Overall, I find motivation extremely interesting and want to continue learning about it.
