Motivation, Emotion, and Cognition: Integrative Perspectives on Intellectual Functioning and Development (Educational Psychology Series)
by Robert J. Sternberg David Yun DaiThe central argument of this book is that cognition is not the whole story in understanding intellectual functioning and development. To account for inter-individual, intra-individual, and developmental variability in actual intellectual performance, it is necessary to treat cognition, emotion, and motivation as inextricably related. Motivation, Emotion, and Cognition: Integrative Perspectives on Intellectual Functioning and Development: *represents a new direction in theory and research on intellectual functioning and development; *portrays human intelligence as fundamentally constrained by biology and adaptive needs but modulated by social and cultural forces; and *encompasses and integrates a broad range of scientific findings and advances, from cognitive and affective neurosciences to cultural psychology, addressing fundamental issues of individual differences, developmental variability, and cross-cultural differences with respect to intellectual functioning and development.By presenting current knowledge regarding integrated understanding of intellectual functioning and development, this volume promotes exchanges among researchers concerned with provoking new ideas for research and provides educators and other practitioners with a framework that will enrich understanding and guide practice.
Motivation, Educational Policy and Achievement: A critical perspective
by Sam CarrMotivation, Educational Policy and Achievement seeks to theorise and critique current trends in education through the lens of key ideas from motivational theory. Its purpose is to argue that current educational trends on a macro level are a significant threat to the provision of classroom practices seeking to create an educational environment that motivational theorists would argue is best placed to develop motivational equality, optimal motivation, and wellbeing. Linking major contemporary theories of motivation to wider educational and political debate, this unique resource will bring about two major benefits: it will vocalise and mobilise the substantial research evidence from motivational theory in order to ensure that it contributes more explicitly to a critique of current neoliberal trends, and motivation researchers will be better positioned to move the theory forward in relation to what is happening in the real world of education. Areas covered include: developing a more critical space in relation to the field of motivational psychology and contemporary educational policy; linking motivational theory to education policy and broader social and political structures; the neoliberal educational landscape; an overview of achievement goal theory and self-determination theory. Motivation, Educational Policy and Achievement is a ‘wake-up call’ for educational practitioners and policy makers and essential reading for all advanced students and researchers in the fields of educational psychology and educational research.
Motivation, Anstrengung und das Modell des neuronalen Netzes
by Theodore Wasserman Lori WassermanIn den letzten zehn Jahren hat sich unser Verständnis des menschlichen Gehirns grundlegend gewandelt – von einer modularen Struktur hin zu einem hoch integrierten neuronalen Netzwerkmodell. Dieses neue Verständnis verändert grundlegend die Art und Weise, wie wir wesentliche psychologische Konstrukte wie beispielsweise Motivation erklären. Im Netzwerkmodell wird Motivation als ein spezialisierter Aspekt des menschlichen Lernsystems betrachtet, der darauf abzielt, Ziele zu erreichen. Von ursprünglich grundlegenden Bedürfnissen wie Nahrung und Unterkunft entwickelt sich Motivation im Laufe der Zeit zu einem komplexen Geflecht aus extrinsischen und intrinsischen Zielen. Der Kern all dieser Entwicklungen ist die angeborene Flucht- oder Kampfreaktion, die sich im Laufe der Zeit durch eine Kombination aus angeborenen menschlichen Temperamentseigenschaften und Lebenserfahrungen verändert. Diese Veränderungsprozess basiert zum Teil auf einem Fehlerprognosenetzwerks, das mit dem Belohnungsnetzwerk zusammenarbeitet, um ein System sich ständig weiterentwickelnder Bewertungen von Zielen und Vorgaben zu erzeugen. Das Zusammenspiel dieser Netzwerke führt zu einem kognitiven Prozess, den wir Motivation nennen. Wie die meisten Netzwerke wird das Motivationssystem von Netzwerken rekrutiert, wenn die Aufgabenanforderungen der Situation es erfordern. Solch ein Verständnis von Motivation hat tiefgreifende Auswirkungen. In der klinischen Psychologie könnte es die Beurteilung und Therapie von Verhaltensweisen neugestalten und die Richtung für neue therapeutische Interventionen vorgeben. Dieses Buch stellt die Übersetzung einer englischsprachigen Originalausgabe dar. Die Übersetzung wurde mit Hilfe von künstlicher Intelligenz erstellt. Eine anschließende manuelle Überarbeitung erfolgte vor allem nach inhaltlichen Gesichtspunkten, so dass das Buch stilistisch von einer herkömmlichen Übersetzung abweicht.

Motivation to Learn in the Secondary School
by Michael HymansTeachers have an enormous impact on how their students approach learning situations. Motivation to Learn in the Secondary School provides the opportunity for senior management teams to enhance learning and teaching by looking at theories of motivation and then relating these to the realities of the classroom. The book looks at the role of senior leaders and how they can encourage their staff to: explore the role that student-teacher relationships play in encouraging student motivation; highlight the importance of emotional literacy for motivating teaching and learning; explore a range of ideas to nurture motivation for the promotion of effective teaching and learning, such as accelerated learning, learning styles, multiple intelligences, meta-cognition and thinking skills. Each chapter shows how the concepts and theories convert into practice. These are identified throughout the book as TiPs (Theory into Practice) to: aid understanding of the model; encourage student motivation through particular practices. There are 38 TiPs, which include activities with handouts and information pages. These are designed for individual and/or groups of staff to use for reflection and development of action plans to promote student motivation to learn.

Motivation in Online Education
by Maggie HartnettThis work explores and explicates learner motivation in online learning environments. More specifically, it uses a case-study approach to examine undergraduate students' motivation within two formal and separate online learning contexts. In doing so, it recognizes the mutually constitutive relationship of the learner and the learning environment in relation to motivation. This is distinctive from other approaches that tend to focus on designing and creating motivating environments or, alternatively, concentrate on motivation as a stable learner characteristic. In particular, this book identifies a range of factors that can support or undermine learner motivation and discusses each in detail. By unraveling the complexity of learner motivation in such environments, it provides useful guidelines for teachers, instructional designers and academic advisors tasked with building and teaching within online educational contexts.

Motivation for Achievement: Possibilities for Teaching and Learning
by M. Kay AldermanUnderstanding student and teacher motivation and developing strategies to foster motivation for students at all levels of performance are essential to effective teaching. This text is designed to help prospective and practicing teachers achieve these goals. Its premise is that current research and theory about motivation offer hope and possibilities for educators —teachers, parents, coaches, and administrators—to enhance motivation for achievement. The orientation draws primarily on social-cognitive perspectives that have generated much research relevant to classroom practice. Ideal for any course that is dedicated to, or includes coverage of, motivation and achievement, the text focuses on two key roles teachers play in supporting and cultivating motivation in the classroom: establishing the classroom structure and instruction that provides the environment for optimal motivation, engagement, and learning; and helping students develop the tools that will enable them to be self-regulated learners and develop their potential. Pedagogical features aid the understanding of concepts and the application to practice: Strategy boxes present guidelines and strategies for using the various concepts. Exhibit boxes include forms for different purposes (for example, goal setting), examples of teacher beliefs and practices, and samples of student work. Reflection boxes stimulate readers’ thinking about motivational issues inherent in the topics, their experiences, and their beliefs. A motivational toolbox at the end of each chapter helps readers identify important points to think about, lingering questions, strategies to use now, and strategies to develop in the future. NEW IN THE THIRD EDITION Updated research and new topics are added throughout as warranted by current inquiry in the field. Chapters are reorganized to provide more coherence and to account for new findings. New and updated material is included on issues of educational reform, standards for achievement, and high-stakes testing, and on achievement goal theory, especially regarding performance goals and the distinction between performance-approach and performance-avoidance goals as relevant to classroom practice.

Motivation and Desire: A New Way to Think About Why We do Everything and its Basis in Neuroscience
by William J. FreedSome of our time is spent eating and drinking and some is spent on matters regarding reproduction. Some of us seek fame or recognition while others seek satisfaction internally, with little need for recognition. Some people study for success in a profession, while others might study rocks, birds, or French literature for no apparent reason other than to know about it. Why are we motivated to engage in so many apparently unrelated activities? This book places our various activities into categories, thus providing a framework for understanding how everything that we do fits together and is based on brain mechanisms. Disturbances in motivation play important roles in autism, depression, Parkinson's disease, and addiction. Understanding the motivational aspects of these disorders can help to inform our approach to these conditions. This book may be of value for students in psychology, counseling, management, and anyone who is interested in understanding our daily behavior.

Motivating and Retaining Online Students: Research-Based Strategies That Work (Jossey-Bass Guides to Online Teaching and Learning)
by Rosemary M. Lehman Simone C. ConceiçãoFinally, the first research-based book of sound strategies and best practices to help instructors motivate students to complete their online courses. Although studies support the effectiveness of learning online, students often fail to complete online courses. Some studies have found that as many as 50–70% drop out of their online courses or programs. Retention is not only a growing expectation and imperative, but it is also as opportunity for faculty members to take the lead in innovating, researching, and implementing new strategies while demonstrating their effectiveness. Designed for instructors and instructional designers, Motivating and Retaining Online Students is filled with empirical research from the authors’ study of motivation and retention strategies that can reduce online learner dropout. Focusing on the most important issues instructors face, such as course design; student engagement and motivation; and institutional, instructional, and informal student support strategies, the book provides effective online strategies that help minimize student dropout, increase student retention, and support student learning. While helping to improve the overall retention rates for educational institutions, the strategies outlined in the book also allow for student diversity and individual learner differences. Lehman and Conceição’s proven model gives instructors an effective approach to help students persist in online courses and succeed as learners.
