Download or read book The Impact of Teacher Intrinsic and Extrinsic Motivation on Teacher Self efficacy written by Sallie Johnakin-Putnam and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 99 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Teacher recruitment and retention is a growing concern for educational organizations. This is in large part due to the increasing work demands and underfunding of public funding. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between teacher motivation and the adaptive factor of self-efficacy. The theoretical frameworks of Bandura’s social learning theory, Deci and Ryan’s self-determination theory, and Rotter’s locus of control theory were used to guide this study. The researcher used a quantitative correlation study to examine the relationship between self-efficacy and intrinsic motivation, extrinsic motivation, and overall motivation. The two surveys were given to 130 elementary school teachers from two school districts in a southeastern state. The Teacher Sense of Efficacy Scale (TSES) and Work Tasks Motivation Scale for Teachers (WTMST) surveys were used to measure perceived teacher self-efficacy and motivational beliefs. Pearson product-moment correlations were used to measure the relationship between the dependent variable (teacher self-efficacy) and the independent variables (intrinsic motivation and extrinsic motivation). Data analysis revealed a positive correlation between self-efficacy and intrinsic motivation; however, no relationship was found between self-efficacy and extrinsic motivation nor overall motivation. Recommendations for future research include replicating this study using both elementary and secondary teachers as well as utilizing demographics to determine generalizations about teacher self-efficacy and motivation.

Book excerpt: Teacher Motivation: Theory and Practice provides a much needed introduction to the current status and future directions of theory and research on teacher motivation. Although there is a robust literature covering the theory and research on student motivation, until recently there has been comparatively little attention paid to teachers. This volume draws together a decade of work from psychological theorists and researchers interested in what motivates people to choose teaching as a career, what motivates them as they work with students in classrooms, the impact of intrinsic and extrinsic forces on career experiences, and how their motivational profiles vary at different stages of their career. With chapters from leading experts on the topic, this volume provides a critical resource not only for educational psychologists, but also for those working in related fields such as educational leadership, teacher development, policy makers and school psychology.
Download or read book The Impact of Academic Self efficacy Intrinsic extrinsic Motivation Orientations and Autonomy based Learning Strategies for Academic Achievement written by Sandra L. Beardsley and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The importance of motivation for students in the academic setting is discussed in this research. The Social Cognitive models of motivation presented discuss four key components of student motivation: self-efficacy, attributions, intrinsic motivation, and achievement goals. Motivational beliefs and self-determination are important aspects to consider when encouraging motivation in students who struggle with learning. Several variables that affect motivation stem from social and environmental factors, teaching specific learning strategies that encourage success, formal and systematic programs for correct strategy use, task-specific feedback, connecting recent successes to work, and reinforcing effort. Using peer modeling, as well as literature, are discussed as motivational tools. Connecting the learning goals of the teacher to the students' goals is considered and can be enhanced by an academically engaging classroom. Encouraging intrinsic motivation while being cautious about the use of extrinsic rewards is discussed. Intrinsic and extrinsic motivation is examined as playing important roles in the motivation and inspiration of students."--leaf 5.

Download or read book Intrinsic and Extrinsic Motivation written by Carol Sansone and published by Academic Press. This book was released on 2000-07-24 with total page 514 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In understanding human behavior, psychologists have long been interested in what motivates specific actions. Debates have pitted extrinsic motivators (e.g. rewards/punishment) against intrinsic motivation in attempting to determine what best motivates individuals. This book provides a summary view of what research has determined about both extrinsic and intrinsic motivation, and clarifies what questions remain unanswered. Divided into three sections, section I revisits the debate about the effects of extrinsic incentives or constraints on intrinsic motivation and creativity, and identifies theoretical advances in motivational research. Section II focuses on the hidden costs and benefits of different types of achievement goals on motivation and performance. Section III discusses theory and research findings on how extrinsic and intrinsic motivators may work in everyday life and over time. This book is of interest to researchers in psychology, education, and business, as well as to a wider audience interested in promoting optimal motivation and performance. Coverage in this book includes: * Debates and controversies in motivational research * Developmental nature of intrinsic and extrinsic motivation over time * Influences of parents, educators, and employers in facilitating motivation * Effect of achievement goals on learning and performance * The role of intrinsic and extrinsic motivation in self-regulation Key Features * Brings together major figures in the fields of motivation, education, and social psychology * Provides a mix of theory, basic and applied research * Presents research conducted both in laboratories and educational settings * Comprehensive chapters provide excellent reviews of previous literature as well as outlines important new directions * Provides different perspectives on controversial debates in a balanced, constructive manner
Download or read book Motivation Theory and Practice for Preservice Teachers written by M. Kay Alderman and published by . This book was released on 1985 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The authors in this volume propose expanding the topic of motivation in the preservice teacher education program by including contemporary research. Margaret W. Cohen reviews a body of research and theory concerned with the effects of extrinsic reinforcers on intrinsic motivation. She notes that contemporary research in the area of intrinsic motivation has consistently demonstrated that extrinsic reinforcers may undermine rather than facilitate performance on and interest in activities that are intrinsically motivating. Carole Ames addresses the implications of attribution theory for the teacher preparation curriculum. She believes it is important for teacher educators to help preservice teachers understand the positive and negative effects of types of classroom structure and evaluation on attribution. Dale H. Schunk suggests that social comparison is an inherent factor in every classroom and can have positive or negative motivation effects. M. Kay Alderman suggests that the preservice component in motivation should provide the preservice teacher with a repertoire of motivation-linked strategies, such as goal-setting, in order to facilitate learning and to educate students with high-achievement patterns of thought and action. Drawing from research on teacher effectiveness and decision making, Mary Rohrkemper argues that if preservice teachers are to be adequately prepared, they need concrete skills that will enable them to observe motivation, diagnose the need for motivational strategies, and assess the effectiveness of strategy implementation. Bibliographies accompany each of the articles. (JD)

Download or read book Global Perspectives on Teacher Motivation written by Helen M. G. Watt and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2017-09-08 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many studies of teacher motivation have been conducted in different contexts over time. However, until fairly recently there has not been a reliable measure available to allow comparisons across samples and settings. This has resulted in an abundance of findings which cannot be directly compared or synthesised. The FIT-Choice instrument offers the opportunity to examine motivations across settings. The various studies in this book suggest that people who choose teaching as a career are motivated by a complex interaction of factors embedded within communities and cultural expectations, but seem generally to embrace a desire to undertake meaningful work that makes for a better society. Unlike some careers, where rewards are in the form of salary and status, by and large these factors are not strong drivers for people who want to become teachers. They want to work with children and adolescents, and believe they have the ability to teach.

Book excerpt: Little is known about the mechanisms underlying the relation between perceived teacher emotional support and intrinsic motivation to learn English. The primary purpose of this quantitative, cross-sectional correlation study was to examine the mediating effects of foreign language enjoyment, anxiety, and self-efficacy on the relationship between Chinese college students’ perceptions of teacher emotional caring and intrinsic motivation in EFL classrooms. Undergraduates (N = 1,464) enrolled in six public four-year universities in mainland China completed five student self-report questionnaires. Data were analyzed using an ordinary least squares (OLS) regression-based path analysis with the PROCESS macros for SPSS and utilizing the Amos program version 26.0 for structural equation modeling (SEM) with maximum likelihood method. Five specific indirect effects of emotional support from teachers on intrinsic motivation to learn English were tested. Specifically, the five indirect effects (or mediating) pathways were hypothesized as: (1) teacher emotional support to enjoyment to intrinsic motivation, (2) teacher emotional support to anxiety to intrinsic motivation, (3) teacher emotional support to self-efficacy to intrinsic motivation, (4) teacher emotional support to enjoyment to self-efficacy to intrinsic motivation, and (5) teacher emotional support to anxiety to self-efficacy to intrinsic motivation. Results of mediation analyses revealed that foreign language enjoyment and anxiety independently mediated the relationship between teacher emotional support and intrinsic motivation to learn English. However, self-efficacy did not independently mediate the effect of teacher emotional caring on intrinsic motivation. Further, there was evidence of mediating pathways from teacher emotional support to intrinsic motivation through enjoyment then to self-efficacy as well as anxiety then to self-efficacy. Additionally, when estimating the mediation model, the results are the same whether SEM or an OLS regression is used. The findings of the present research make a contribution to the SLA motivation literature and add additional support for the Self-Determination Theory (SDT). I discuss implications and limitations as well as recommendations for future search.
