Motivation is… Extrinsic Intrinsic

“motivation is not static but dynamically evolving and changing in time” (Dornyei and Otto,1998)

Teacher’s Terrain

 What is in our direct control/influence –  What is in our indirect control/influence –  How does this change for you in different situations?

Teacher’s Terrain  In US study results (Gardner, 1985 p.50) points out that mean correlation between teacher and grades is statistically significant but low.  Perception of teacher as providing informative feedback in a non controlling manner were more important for self- perceptions of competence and autonomy than simply whether the teacher is perceived positively or negatively (Noels, in Press)  BUT STILL correlation was not high.

Teacher’s Terrain  In studies (Inbar, Donitsa-Schmidt & Shohamy) of Israeli classrooms it indicates that students give high priority to classroom relevant aspects of L2 instruction.  In a study by Williams Burden &Al- Baharna, Ss in Bahrain rated teaching methods 8 th of 11 on factors that cause success but 1 st on a list of causes for failure.

Teacher’s Terrain  Weighting one factor over another (extrinsic or intrinsic) will differ based on context, culture,and individual (Ts and Ss).

Teacher’s Terrain 1. Capture Student Interest in the Subject Matter. 2. Highlight the Relevance of the Subject Matter. 3. Help Students Maintain Expectations for Success.

Teacher’s Terrain 4. Design the Lesson to Maintain Interest and Promote Student Success 5. Express Interest in the Content and Project Enthusiasm. 6. Provide Feedback and Rewards for Performance.

Teacher’s Terrain  What do you do to motivate students?  What has a teacher done in the past to motivate you?

Feedback  Compared to all other factors involved, what do you feel is a teacher’s place in affecting student motivation?  Are there any other points you’d like to hear more about?  If I were to give this presentation again what would you recommend to improve it?
