Study Notes

Facilitating Learner-Centered Teaching

  • Motivation is crucial for effective learning.
  • Motivated learners are actively involved in the learning process.
  • They retain information more efficiently.
  • They relate new information to previous knowledge.
  • They ask questions during interactions.

Learning Outcomes

  • Students will demonstrate understanding of motivation types, theories, and student diversity.
  • This knowledge will aid in learner-centered learning.

Learning Objectives

  • Students will distinguish between intrinsic and extrinsic motivation.
  • They will identify different theories on factors affecting motivation.
  • They will grasp how student diversity impacts motivation.

Motivation

  • Goal Theory: Establishing goals enhances motivation.
    • Learning goals focus on acquiring skills and knowledge.
    • Performance goals concentrate on looking good and receiving approval.

Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs

  • Maslow's theory suggests motivation is influenced by a hierarchy of needs (physiological, safety, love/belonging, esteem, self-actualization.)
  • Meeting these needs leads to higher-level motivation for learning.

Students' Diversity in Motivation

  • Student diversity includes age, gender, socioeconomic background, and cultural differences.
  • Effective teaching addresses this diversity for optimal learning outcomes.
  • Students are influenced by social and cultural contexts.
  • Students emulate successful peers.
