\nI have never taken an online class before, so even though I'm motivated to be a good student, I often forget to continually work on assignments for this class. I really wish I was constantly on top of my work for this class, but I have learned from my mistake.
\n
\nI think the Hole in the Wall experiment is a beautiful way to show the motivation of children. I love that they wanted to learn the information so badly that they taught themselves. They were self motivated to learn the material which made them really invest a lot of time into research.
\n
\nI think what helps kids stay motivated is believing in them and encouraging them to keep trying. When they give up, try to help them by explaining the information a different way. I think teachers sometime need to give the children energy to be motivated by being energetic about teaching them.","replyPages":[{"page":0,"digests":[],"more":0}]},{"id":"61195578","dateCreated":"1357667555","smartDate":"Jan 8, 2013","userCreated":{"username":"KarenMarlowe","url":"http:\/\/www.wikispaces.com\/user\/view\/KarenMarlowe","imageUrl":"http:\/\/c1.wikicdn.com\/i\/user_none_lg.jpg"},"monitored":false,"locked":false,"links":{"self":"http:\/\/capitaledpsych.wikispaces.com\/share\/view\/61195578"},"dateDigested":1532724732,"startDate":null,"sharedType":"discussion","title":"Motivation-Karen Marlowe","description":"How does this information explain (or fail to explain) times in your life when you were motivated?

\nMost of my younger student life, I have been an extrinsic learner. I can remember earning rewards from teachers, my parents or other adults for following directions, scoring certain grades on tests and assignments, turning in assignments on time, etc. However, once I went to college, I feel I have become a more intrinsic learner. I find myself setting rewards and punishment for things I do or don\u2019t do. For instance, I know I want to become an effective teacher, therefore I put pressure on myself to earn great grades. I will reward myself through trips to the mall to buy something I have wanted for awhile or being able to go out with friends once I complete an assignment, even though there have been times where I have procrastinated or had an external locus of causality (like staying out too late or deciding to nap instead of doing schoolwork).
\n
\n
\nWhat kinds of motivation do you have for learning Educational Psychology?
\n
\nAs I mentioned earlier, I have become a more intrinsic learner. I truly want to be a great teacher. Therefore, whether I am interested in learning or not, I make myself retain what I\u2019ve learned from each class. I don\u2019t feel Educational Psychology will be much different as it in a step in the goal I have set for myself (to become a great teacher). In order to succeed in this course, I feel my motivation will contain rewards and punishments, just like any other class I have\/will take. I
\n
\n
\nHow would you explain the motivation of the children in the Hole in the Wall experiment?
\n
\nI believe the children in the Hole in the Wall experiment viewed motivation through the Humanistic theory. They were curious, and therefore, they wanted to learn. It was a self-driven with personal freedom way of learning, as Sugata Mitra allowed students to discover the best ways to solve various tasks (no time restraints, no assigned groups, no praise, etc.). Also, I noticed the students did not worry about punishment, and they were obviously self-motivated. Therefore, I feel they were intrinsically motivated with high approach and low avoidance.
\n
\n
\nWhat kinds of things can you do as a teacher\/boss\/trainer to encourage motivation (keeping in mind that you cannot make someone feel motivation)?
\n
\nIt is evident students learn in different ways. Therefore, I believe helping students to understand concepts using different kinds of learning (kinesthetic, visually, audibly, etc.) will be more effective than using the same method of teaching. If I can do this, I think I can make learning more interesting, keeping students curious and eager to learn. I addition, though you cannot completely motivate someone to learn, I do feel you can use methods of rewards and punishments to help a student complete something. For example, I know if I am not \u201cgood\u201d at something, such as science, I become less motivated to do well. However, if I have chances to earn extra credit, a desired prize, or even something as simple as praise, I find myself wanting to do better. Therefore, I feel I will be using these methods to help motivate others.","replyPages":[{"page":0,"digests":[],"more":0}]},{"id":"60417034","dateCreated":"1349664184","smartDate":"Oct 7, 2012","userCreated":{"username":"ChristineAngi","url":"http:\/\/www.wikispaces.com\/user\/view\/ChristineAngi","imageUrl":"http:\/\/c1.wikicdn.com\/i\/user_none_lg.jpg"},"monitored":false,"locked":false,"links":{"self":"http:\/\/capitaledpsych.wikispaces.com\/share\/view\/60417034"},"dateDigested":1532724732,"startDate":null,"sharedType":"discussion","title":"Motivation Response ","description":"1. How does this information explain (or fail to explain) times in your life when you were motivated? Not motivated?
\nThis did a great job of explaining times in my life that I have been motivated and why I may or may not have been motivated. In high school I was motivated to do my best in practice for cheerleading. I wanted to give my best effort and push myself with everything to set a good example for younger girls on the team and set the tone for how girls on the team should act when they came to a practice. I think this might fall into the middle area of Intrinsic and Extrinsic motivation, more towards Extrinsic, the reward of seeing a practice run smoothly.
\n2. What kinds of motivation do you have for learning Educational Psychology?
\nI am Extrinsically motivated to learn more about Educational Psychology because I want to use the skills and information I learn in this course to manage my classroom the best I can and in the most controlled manor, gaining the reward of having a controlled classroom and classroom environment.
\n3. How would you explain the motivation of the children in the Hole in the Wall experiment?
\nI would explain this type of motivation as Intrinsic. I say this because the children wanted to learn because they were interested and wanted to know more about the technology. No one was telling them what they had to do or how, or that they would be rewarded for it. These children were internally motivated to learn about the technology.
\n4. What kinds of things can you do as a teacher\/boss\/trainer to encourage motivation (keeping in mind that you cannot make someone feel motivation)?
\nThis seems like where cost would primarily come into play. Creating a good experience with the student and what it is you are trying to achieve, maintaining a low cost is a as to promote an environment where children or anyone may feel more inclined to be motivated. An example of this is in learning times tables for every times test for every number (0\u2019s-12\u2019s) we passed we got an element of an ice cream sundae, (spoon,bowl,ice cream, fudge ect\u2026) This is an example of maintaining a low cost in trying to motivate a group.","replyPages":[{"page":0,"digests":[{"id":"57148100","body":"I believe you are onto something when you talk about creating a good experience.

\n1. How does this information explain (or fail to explain) times in your life when you were motivated? Not motivated?
\n
\n\u2022 I really liked the Theory X and Y video and could relate to it a lot. I think motivation can come from outside sources but also internal sources. If you tell yourself that you want to work because of positive factors, you will believe yourself and find motivation you never thought you had. On the other side, if you complain about work and spend mindless hours convincing yourself how much work of any kind sucks, you will never be motivated to work. I remember when I got my first job in high school and from my first day of work on, I told myself everyday how excited I was to go to work and how much I loved my job and I never told myself anything negative about it. Still to this day, it was one of my favorite jobs.
\n
\n
\n2. What kinds of motivation do you have for learning Educational Psychology?
\n
\n\u2022 I am motivated to learn for education psychology because it relates directly to the path I want to take in life. Educational Psychology is a small step I can take to get into the classroom and be a teacher. I see the end goal of being an art teacher ahead, so I willingly take on any task needed to see that goal materialize.
\n
\n3. How would you explain the motivation of the children in the Hole in the Wall experiment?
\n
\n\u2022 The children were motivated intrinsically. They were able to explore and discover and learn because they saw the benefit of it for themselves. When they learned one aspect of the computer, they were able to apply it to another aspect of the computer and learn more and more. Also, I think the children were motivated because the computer was hands on learning, and they weren\u2019t just being taught to.
\n
\n4. What kinds of things can you do as a teacher\/boss\/trainer to encourage motivation (keeping in mind that you cannot make someone feel motivation)?
\n
\n\u2022 I can motivate my students by keeping a positive attitude. If my students are aware that I am there for them and that my job is not to talk to them but to help them explore, I think they will stay motivated and focused in art class. Also, I mentioned above that the students in the Hole in the Wall experiment were learning hands on and how I thought that helped them stay motivated, so the more I can let my students learn hands on, I think they will be more motivated.","replyPages":[{"page":0,"digests":[{"id":"56895016","body":"The neat thing about art is that it is necessarily hands on and can be taught with a more or less inquiry-based approach (exploring what can be done with a given set of materials).

How does this information explain (or fail to explain) times in your life when you were motivated? Not motivated?
\n Large in part, I feel like I am extrinsically motivated. When I do anything, it is to avoid a punishment or receive a reward. I also feel very motivated when doing authenic tasks. Feeling a connection and relevency toward a topic makes it much more enjoyable and easy to learn
\n
\n2. What kinds of motivation do you have for learning Educational Psychology?
\nI have a humanistic interpretation of motivation for this class. I enjoy that I have the freedom to accomplish each academic task at my own pace and leisure. I am also overstriving when it comes to this class. I really want and try to do the best I can so that I avoid failing at a task or the whole class.
\n
\n3. How would you explain the motivation of the children in the Hole in the Wall experiment?
\nThe children in the hole in the wall experiement become master orientated students as they strive for success and achievement while always try to improve and master the topic. They have a goal structure kind of atmoshere in which their peers are all working towards the same goal. They cooperate with each other to work and accomplish the same goal.
\n
\n4. What kinds of things can you do as a teacher\/boss\/trainer to encourage motivation (keeping in mind that you cannot make someone feel motivation)?
\nIn order to motivate others, as a leader, one should try to use the Y theory of motivation in which one trusts that workers are self sufiecient enough to accomplish their tasks. Also, providing extrinsic motivators though rewards, punishments, incentives, and sanctions should largely ensure that workers will stay motivated.","replyPages":[{"page":0,"digests":[{"id":"58246862","body":"Theory Y is truly the way to go for both work and learning environments!

\nIt helps me to realize what am I using for motivation. Is this truly something I am interested in, or something I am doing because I have to? Learning whether the motivation is internal or external really helps you to understand why you work harder in some areas than others.
\n
\n 2. What kinds of motivation do you have for learning Educational Psychology?
\nI have internal and external. I look at the class as something I need to take in order to pass the Praxis II and finish my degree.

It's also an interesting topic to me because I the information learned will help me grow as an instructor.

\n 3. How would you explain the motivation of the children in the Hole in the Wall experiment?
\n
\nThe children were definitely self-motivated. They wanted to learn something on their own, but did not have anything from the outside to influence them. There was just a sense of self-satisfaction on learning and figuring out the problem.

How does this information explain (or fail to explain) times in your life when you were motivated? Not motivated?
\n\u2022 The information did an amazing job explaining times both motivational and non-motivating in my life. One thing that I have always been able to be motivated by is sports. From candy leagues to now a college athlete I\u2019ve always been seen as an intrinsic motivation for having competitive interest in what I was doing. For a extrinsic example would have to be school for me. Not all the classes but just certain subjects were I needed my parents and teacher keeping my motivated to keep good grades.
\n
\n2. What kinds of motivation do you have for learning Educational Psychology?
\n\u2022 I would have to say I am a little of both intrinsically and extrinsically motivated. I am intrinsically motivated because I am so interested in psychology and just how the brain can work in so many ways. Knowing I need these courses to become an early childhood educator, which has always been a dream, also intrinsically motivates me. The only extrinsic motivation I need would just be from my parents and teachers making sure I stay on the right path to receiving a good grade.

\n\u2022 With the hole in the wall experiment the children were definitely intrinsically motivated.

\n4. What kinds of things can you do as a teacher\/boss\/trainer to encourage motivation (keeping in mind that you cannot make someone feel motivation)?
\n\u2022 For wanting to be an Early Childhood Educator, I will use the Behaviorism approach. I think that rewarding a child for their success will be a great way to keep young children interested in the work that is going on in class.

\n\u2022 Especially with the definitions of intrinsic and extrinsic motivation it explains the times when I have been motivated or not motivated. Like when I played soccer and I went to practice because I loved playing I was intrinsically motivated. And when I didn\u2019t want to go to school some days but my parents made me I was extrinsically motivated.

\nThis information does a great job explaining times in my life where I have been either motivated or unmotivated. Throughout my life I have always been motivated to play soccer, which can be seen as an intrinsic motivation. In soccer the competition and relatedness\/unity help to keep me motivated. In school subjects that I\u2019m not particularly interested in the motivation is extrinsic from teachers or my parents.

\n
\nI am intrinsically as well as extrinsically motivated to succeed in educational psychology. I am intrinsically motivated by my thirst for knowledge and desire to succeed in life.

\nThe students who figured out how to use the computers were purely intrinsically motivated. They were motivated by curiosity to investigate the uses\/functions of the computers.

\nI think that most of the learning that has occurred in my life was because I personally wanted to learn a subject or improve myself. This is called intrinsic motivation. My family never gave me much encouragement in my studies and could not understand why I wanted to go to university. I believe this was mainly because my parents or siblings did not enjoy reading or writing.
\n
\nI have the opposite motivation towards subjects I find really difficult like Math which were hard to learn. I find it hard to motivate my kids to read during the summer.
\nNow as a mature student I realize that learning needs to be self \u2013motivated. There needs to be an interest in the subject you are learning and a reason that gives you the motivation to succeed.
