Exploring Motivation
Exploring Motivation
What is motivation? And what factors contribute to it? Ambrose et al. (2010) suggest
that "two important concepts are central to understanding motivation: (1) the subjective
value of a goal and (2) the expectancies, or expectations for successful attainment
of that goal" (p. 69). Further, these two factors - value and expectancies - are influenced
by environment.
In this FIG, facilitated by Janine Graziano (English), we will explore motivation
and the role we can play in helping students develop and maintain the motivation that
is crucial to their success.
