Motivation Understand Motivation and the Variables That Can Be Manipulated to Increase It
2
Three Concepts to Maintain and Increase Motivation: Behavior that is repeated is motivated Intrinsic and Extrinsic factors Relationship between Intrinsic motivation and proficiency
3
Behavior That is Repeated is Motivated Students who repeatedly perform a behavior are motivated to do so As teachers, we need to increase the motivation in desired behaviors and decrease the motivation in undesired behavior
4
Strategies for Increasing Motivation to Engage Students in Desired Behaviors Task 1: Present the desired tasks to your students in a manner that will generate enthusiam. Task 2: Implement effective instruction practices. Task 3: Use every possible opportunity to provide each student with noncontingent attention. Task 4: Give students positive feedback on their successes in a variety of ways. Task 5: Plan to interact at least three times more often with students when they are behaving appropriately than when they are misbehaving.

Task 1: Present the Desired Tasks to Your Students in a Manner that Will Generate Enthusiam. Explain how an activity will be useful to students Provide a vision of what students will eventually be able to do Relate new tasks to previously learned skills Rally student enthusiasm, especially for challenging tasks
6
Task 2: Implement Effective Instruction Practices. Teacher’s Presentational Style Actively Involving Students in Lessons Ensuring High Rates of Student Success Providing Students with Immediate Performance Feedback
7
Task 3: Use Every Possible Opportunity to Provide Each Student with Noncontingent Attention. Greet your students Show interest in student’s work and their personal interests Invite students to ask for assistance Whenever time permits, have a conversation with a student or group of students Make a special effort to greet or talk to any student with whom you’ve had a recent interaction regarding a misbehavior
8
Task 4: Give Students Positive Feedback on Their Successes in a Variety of Ways. Feedback should be: Accurate Specific and descriptive Contingent Age appropriate Given in a manner that fits your own style

Task 5: Plan to Interact at Least Three Times More Often with Students when they are Behaving Appropriately than when they are Misbehaving. 3:1 Rule Make complimenting students a routine Schedule individual conference times with students Periodically observe and acknowledge student behavior you want to reinforce Reduce attention towards misbehavior and increase attention towards desired behavior Engage in frequent noncontingent positive interactions with students

Intrinsic Factors: “A person is intrinsically motivated when the pleasant consequences of a behavior are related to the essential nature of that behavior.” Fulfillment in performing a task and interest in achieving results
11
Extrinsic Factors: “Extrinsic motivation occurs when someone engages in a behavior due to pleasant consequences that are not directly related to the essential nature of the behavior.” Motivation to complete a task in order to achieve a goal
12
Relationship Between Intrinsic Motivation and Proficiency Success breeds success and failure breeds failure
13
Mathematical Formula of Motivation: Expectancy x Value = Motivation Expectancy is defined as the degree to which an individual expects to be successful at the task Value is the degree to which an individual values the rewards that accompany the success
14
How can we apply this motivation model to our instructional practices?
