○ ● Research needed: motivation, cognition, interventions(job redesign) impact job performance Relationship between CET and JCT: ○ Complementary rather than competing ○ CET has implications for tasks with a fixed structure ○ JCT has implications for job design Current Topics in Intrinsic Motivation ● 3 emerging research areas in intrinsic motivation: ○ Attributes of educational environments that foster intrinsic task interest, effort, and learning ○ Characteristics associated with long-term intrinsic task interest and persistence among expert performers ○ Differences in motivational processes between intrinsic and extrinsic orientations, and individual differences in strength of distinct components of achievement Intrinsic Motivation in Skill Acquisition ● ● ● Past: Cognitive-based theories in the 1960s diminished research on motivational learning bases ○ Focus shifted to determinants of choice processes, with presumption that motivation influences learning through pre-task decisions ○ But: Motivational processes during task engagement also significantly impact skill acquisition Recent: Renewed interest in role of motivation in skill acquisition, particularly focused on how intrinsic motivation develops and interacts with cognitive processes ○ Lepper and Dweck argue that factors like mastery control, challenge, and curiosity contribute to effective learning ○ Malone and Lepper (1987) study identified 7 distinct forms in 2 groups (individual and interpersonal) of motivation that influence learning: ■ Individual: Challenge, curiosity, control, fantasy (intrinsic motives) ■ Interpersonal: Competition, cooperation, recognition (intrinsic, extrinsic, or both) ○ Effective training involves evoking different forms of motivation at different points in the training process Future: Research Needed: ○ Clarify motivational processes underlying differences between passive and active learners ○ How different forms of motivation affect interest and rate of skill acquisition ○ How the scheduling of motivational enhancements affects learning in digital skill training
