This book was released on 2021-06-25 with total page 333 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Motivation is an important factor in and for all education levels. However, as learners in online distance education milieus are away from both teachers, other learners, and the learning environments physically, this concept becomes more important for online education. Motivating learners in distance education and keeping their motivation alive throughout the learning process is an issue that should be emphasized and taken care of for teachers and instructional designers. At this point, although there are many approaches, models, and theories regarding enhancing and sustaining motivation and engagement in the education processes, it is seen that there is not enough work and/or effective and efficient strategies that can be applied in online distance learning environments. Motivation, Volition, and Engagement in Online Distance Learning evaluates motivational obstacles in online distance education both theoretically and practically, identifies the strengths and weaknesses of the online education environments regarding motivation, and provides actionable motivational and volitional strategies for online educators. This book offers coverage of topics such as learning theories, motivation research, and synchronous online learning environments, making it a valuable resource for researchers, professionals, decision makers, institutions in all education levels, academicians, pre-service teachers, and most importantly, online educators from various disciplines and learners from all educational landscapes.

This book was released on 2022-10-15 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Education is a very common ad globally widespread term and in one way or other appears to be as old as mankind, though during the time, its concept, meaning, objectives and modes of delivery have inevitably remained in a constant flux. As a student of education, and as a prospective teacher, it is vital for us to understand the nature, meaning and concept of education and different perspectives that have shaped its context from time to time. Understanding the meaning and concept of education will help us to develop insights about the various processes of education. Education is considered both a field of knowledge and an area of operation. As a field of knowledge, it deals with a number of concepts, ideas, principles and thoughts which are educative in nature. On another side, education is a field of practice. Educational practices occur in different environments, namely formal, non-formal and informal environments. Education operates in a wide spectrum of situations both at macro and micro levels.
