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 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As I begin to write this Preface, I feel a rush of excitement. I have now finished the book; my gestalt is coming into completion. Throughout the months that I have been writing this, I have, indeed, been intrinsically motivated. Now that it is finished I feel quite competent and self-determining (see Chapter 2). Whether or not those who read the book will perceive me that way is also a concern of mine (an extrinsic one), but it is a wholly separate issue from the intrinsic rewards I have been experiencing. This book presents a theoretical perspective. It reviews an enormous amount of research which establishes unequivocally that intrinsic motivation exists. Also considered herein are various approaches to the conceptualizing of intrinsic motivation. The book concentrates on the approach which has developed out of the work of Robert White (1959), namely, that intrinsically motivated behaviors are ones which a person engages in so that he may feel competent and self-determining in relation to his environment. The book then considers the development of intrinsic motiva tion, how behaviors are motivated intrinsically, how they relate to and how intrinsic motivation is extrinsically motivated behaviors, affected by extrinsic rewards and controls. It also considers how changes in intrinsic motivation relate to changes in attitudes, how people attribute motivation to each other, how the attribution process is motivated, and how the process of perceiving motivation (and other internal states) in oneself relates to perceiving them in others.
Download or read book The Oxford Handbook of Work Engagement Motivation and Self Determination Theory written by Marylene Gagne PhD and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2014-06-09 with total page 465 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Self-determination theory is a theory of human motivation that is being increasingly used by organizations to make strategic HR decisions and train managers. It argues for a focus on the quality of workers' motivation over quantity. Motivation that is based on meaning and interest is showed to be superior to motivation that is based on pressure and rewards. Work environments that make workers feel competent, autonomous, and related to others foster the right type of motivation, goals, and work values. The Oxford Handbook of Work Motivation, Engagement, and Self-Determination Theory aims to give current and future organizational researchers ideas for future research using self-determination theory as a framework, and to give practitioners ideas on how to adjust their programs and practices using self-determination theory principles. The book brings together self-determination theory experts and organizational psychology experts to talk about past and future applications of the theory to the field of organizational psychology. The book covers a wide range of topics, including: how to bring about commitment, engagement, and passion in the workplace; how to manage stress, health, emotions and violence at work; how to encourage safe and sustainable behavior in organizations; how factors like attachment styles, self-esteem, person-environment fit, job design, leadership, compensation, and training affect work motivation; and how work-related values and goals are forged by the work environment and affect work outcomes.

This book was released on 2013 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The aim of this thesis was to investigate the effects of manipulations related to autonomy (or lack thereof) on a range of evaluative, conative and self-regulatory processes in the context of health-related outcomes. In the first investigation, differences in exercise-related goals were examined between participants primed with autonomous, controlled, or neutral material. It was found that autonomy-primed individuals set exercise goals that were longer in intended duration than those set by the controlled- and neutral-primed individuals. An indirect prospective relationship between prime and exercise behaviour was also found, with autonomy-primed individuals participating in longer goal-based exercise sessions via their exercise goals. These findings provide evidence that motivation primes may influence downstream conscious processing, and that priming might be a valuable tool to utilise during traditional goal setting programs. In the second study, participants engaged in an exercise session in either an indoor setting, or an identical session in a green outdoor setting, and were then exposed to a brief post-session intrinsic or extrinsic motivation prime. It was hypothesized that participants exposed to the intrinsic prime, relative to those exposed to the extrinsic prime, would report higher levels of intrinsic motivation, choice, and monetary worth in relation to the completed exercise session. Furthermore, these effects were only expected in the indoor recreation centre condition, with no differences expected between priming groups on any of the dependent variables in the outside condition. In support of the hypotheses, results indicated that perceived monetary value of the exercise class only differed according to prime in the indoor environment (but not in the outdoor environment). There was no evidence to support the hypotheses relating to exercise enjoyment and choice. The third investigation explored the possibility that controlled and autonomous learning conditions could alter the consumption of snack food, and also examined whether snack consumption during a controlled learning activity could increase subsequent performance on a self-regulation task. Results indicated that the autonomous learning group consumed significantly less snack food than the controlled learning group who also received food. Participants in the autonomous condition also performed better on the subsequent self-regulation task than those in the controlled-learning-and-food group, even after controlling for the amount of food consumed. Within the controlled-learning-and-food condition, there was no association between food consumption and subsequent self-regulation task performance.
