Lazowski: Motivation Interventions in Education Flashcards
(14 cards)
achievement emotions
emotional experiences in school come from students perception of control and value for academics
-> anxiety reappraisal: uitleggen dat angst voor een toets is heel normaal, en dat het niet funest is. het kan je zelfs helpen tijdens de toets.
achievement goal theory:
value not only the outcome but also the learning process
-> set mastery goals, examine meanings behind failure. goals regarding goal setting and strategies for study, let the students describe people who have these traits (in order to become more like them)
attribution theory
helps students attribute academic struggles to a lack of effort.
-> show that students usually struggle in their first year, but this often improves afterwards
expectancy value theory:
help students discover the relevance of academic materials to their lives. student motivation is determined by success expectancies and perceived task value.
-> writing exercise, “How could what we’re learning today (or this week/unit) be useful or meaningful to you personally, either now or in the future?”. link it to a carreer path or hobby of them
goal setting:
set specific realistic goals. vague goals are hard to attain.
-> identify important future goals, in detail, and indicate how committed they are
implicit theories of intelligence
help students realise they become smarter whilst tackling challenges
-> let students know the brain becomes smarter through solving hard problems. effort and challenge are important! growth mindset. discuss the malleability of the brain, and learning makes students smarter
interest theory
excite and engage students in a topic through expressive writing and stimulating learning activities
-> reading motivation through observation, drawings and experiments
need for achievements theory
encourage students to strive for high achievements through direct instructions in understanding achievement-related emotions and cognitions, and adopting higher standards and action strategies. understand the importance of mastery, high achievement and reach one’s full potential.
-> explain achievement thoughts and emotions, action tendencies
possible selves theory
help students draw connections between successful future self and current school involvement
-> writing and reflections
self-affirmation theory
maintain self-integrity by affirming important values. especially target students who are at risk for feeling threatened in specific academic situations
self-confrontational theory
adopt behaviours that enable them to achieve outcomes consistent with their core values, through confronting students with value discrepancies between themselves and other successful students. motivation to change is elicited when students perceive that their behaviours and values differ from their self-perception
self-efficacy theory
interventions that help students perceive that they can successfully complete the specific tasks and activities required for learning
-> bv. receiving effort feedback (je hebt hard gewerkt)
social belongingness theory
help students perceive stronger connections between themselves and important others in the learning context. also reduce uncertain feelings about belonging.
-> vertellen dat dit normaal is in het eerste jaar -> better academic fit and grades
transformative experience
interventions to reframe learning in a way that enhances value of the content to students everyday experience
-> frame concepts as ideas to be imagined about, rather than concepts to be learned
