Download or read book Motivation Language Identity and the L2 Self written by Zoltán Dörnyei and published by Multilingual Matters. This book was released on 2009-01-12 with total page 377 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Due to its theoretical and educational significance within the language learning process, the study of L2 motivation has been an important area of second language acquisition research for several decades. Over the last few years L2 motivation research has taken an exciting new turn by focusing increasingly on the language learner’s situated identity and various self-perceptions. As a result, the concept of L2 motivation is currently in the process of being radically reconceptualised and re-theorised in the context of contemporary notions of self and identity. With contributions by leading European, North American and Asian scholars, this volume brings together the first comprehensive anthology of key conceptual and empirical papers that mark this important paradigmatic shift.

Download or read book How People Learn II written by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2018-09-27 with total page 347 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are many reasons to be curious about the way people learn, and the past several decades have seen an explosion of research that has important implications for individual learning, schooling, workforce training, and policy. In 2000, How People Learn: Brain, Mind, Experience, and School: Expanded Edition was published and its influence has been wide and deep. The report summarized insights on the nature of learning in school-aged children; described principles for the design of effective learning environments; and provided examples of how that could be implemented in the classroom. Since then, researchers have continued to investigate the nature of learning and have generated new findings related to the neurological processes involved in learning, individual and cultural variability related to learning, and educational technologies. In addition to expanding scientific understanding of the mechanisms of learning and how the brain adapts throughout the lifespan, there have been important discoveries about influences on learning, particularly sociocultural factors and the structure of learning environments. How People Learn II: Learners, Contexts, and Cultures provides a much-needed update incorporating insights gained from this research over the past decade. The book expands on the foundation laid out in the 2000 report and takes an in-depth look at the constellation of influences that affect individual learning. How People Learn II will become an indispensable resource to understand learning throughout the lifespan for educators of students and adults.
Download or read book The Effect of Guided Goal Setting on the Motivation and Achievement of Eighth Grade Students in an International Baccalaureate Middle Years Program written by Deborah L. Layman and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This pilot study examined the feasibility of guided goal setting within Socratic seminar and its effects on the achievement and motivation of International Baccalaureate students in an MYP language and literature class. Participants were eighth-grade students enrolled in four language and literature classes with the same instructor. The experimental group (two classes, n = 30) received guided goal setting for six weeks, while the waitlist control group (two classes, n = 24) received the intervention during the last two weeks. As this was a pilot study, inferential statistics were limited, and the study focused instead on descriptive statistics. Descriptive analyses identified many positive outcomes of the guided goal-setting intervention for the experimental group, including increased number of contributions over time. However, when data were examined by race, gender, and goal type, some differences were observed. White students contributed more often during seminar and achieved their goals more frequently than Black students. Female students contributed more frequently during seminar than male students. Students who chose questions or evaluative/interpretative goals made more contributions than students with verbal or factual goals. However, students with questions and factual goals achieved said goals more frequently. The feasibility results and descriptive statistics of this pilot study suggest that guided goal setting resulted in several positive differences in student achievement. A larger-scale study should be conducted with modifications to the research design as indicated. Additional research questions exploring racial, gender, and goal type differences should also be explored.

Book excerpt: Do African American urban youth really possess the desire to live a life full of achievements? The Motivated Life shares a composite picture of the social and educational journey of a few urban male students and their step-by-step challenges as they reach for success in a fast track world. Shellie Sampson Jr., Ph.D., a former headmaster in an urban school, discusses the dynamics of goal-setting concepts while relying on the recent research of scholars as well as his own research conducted at an urban school in a major city. While sharing the results of a comprehensive study that included high school counselors, administrators, and African American male students, Dr. Sampson provides strategic information that will help others move their lives to more productive levels. He extensively covers urban trends that affect the lives of African American adolescents, goal-setting methods, and ways that young adults can build a motivated life. Society is filled with those who are coping with success in their own context, yet many are suffering from a devalued life of underachievement. The Motivated Life provides the encouragement that will enable all those who struggle with success to think, search, and create a new life for themselves.
Download or read book Effect of Goal setting on Motivation and Academic Achievement in Reading and Mathematics for RTI identified Tier II Students written by Rebecca C. Menke and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 77 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study documents the effects of goal setting on motivation and academic achievement for struggling students in the RTI-Identified Tier II group for reading and mathematics. Previous research indicates that having a goal increases motivation (Murayama and Elliot, 2009), and having higher motivation leads to higher academic achievement (Cavas, 2011). An action research project was designed to use personal mastery goals to increase student motivation and academic gains. Students participating in academic interventions set mastery goals and monitored their progress during a 10- week study. Throughout the study, student motivation was measured using surveys and at the end of the study, student achievement was measured using a universal screener assessment. Results from the study were inconclusive and further research is needed in this area.

Download or read book Goals Goal Structures and Patterns of Adaptive Learning written by Carol Midgley and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-04-08 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Achievement goal theory has emerged as one of the preeminent approaches to motivation. Goals, Goal Structures, and Patterns of Adaptive Learning presents the findings of a large scale, longitudinal study that use goal theory as the lens through which to examine the relation among achievement goals, the learning context, and students' and teachers' patterns of cognition, affect, and behavior. These results are integrated within the larger literature on goal theory, providing an overview of the research that has been conducted, as well as suggestions that goal theory researchers might want to consider. Written by scholars who are well-known in the field, this book: *provides a comprehensive summary of research related to achievement goal theory--one of the preeminent approaches to motivation today; *presents a detailed overview of research conducted in conjunction with the Patterns of Adaptive Learning Study--a decade-long multi-faceted study employing both quantitative and qualitative methods. A description of the development, reliability, and validity of the Patterns of Adaptive Learning Scales is included. These scales are being used by many researchers using achievement goal theory in this country and internationally; *includes important information about the relevancy of achievement goal theory for an understanding of avoidance behaviors in schools; *describes the relevancy of achievement goal theory for children who are disaffected from school and schooling; and *points to the gaps in research on achievement goal theory, and provides guidance for future research in the field.
Download or read book The Factors Effecting Student Achievement written by Engin Karadağ and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-05-14 with total page 333 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on the effect of psychological, social and demographic variables on student achievement and summarizes the current research findings in the field. It addresses the need for inclusive and interpretive studies in the field in order to interpret student achievement literature and suggests new pathways for further studies. Appropriately, a meta-analysis approach is used by the contributors to show the big picture to the researchers by analyzing and combining the findings from different independent studies. In particular, the authors compile various studies examining the relationship between student achievement and 21 psychological, social and demographic variables separately. The philosophy behind this book is to direct future research and practices rather than addressing the limits of current studies.

Download or read book How Does Goal Setting Affect Elementary Student Math Achievement written by Robert James Rand and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In many elementary schools, mathematics achievement, instruction and individual interventions are crucial to make sure that all students succeed. When students are not taught at their level, they may become discouraged, uninterested and act out. If students are involved with their learning, understand their objectives, have a voice to set goals, and receive feedback, the outcome can be very different. The overall research problem being addressed in this action research project is how goal setting affects elementary mathematics student achievement. This is an important project that looks to increase student motivation and self-efficacy in mathematics. How does goal setting increase student mathematics achievement? This research concludes that when students have clear learning targets, voice in goal setting, and receive adult feedback, there is an increase in learning. The research holds an impact for positive social change as it works to increase intrinsic motivation in our students.
