Fascinating stuff, and quite closely aligned with my emerging beliefs about motivation.Jeremyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01293317607000363396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5425734.post-1152900123856574672006-07-14T11:02:00.000-07:002006-07-14T11:02:00.000-07:00Love your blog; you always post on a variety of in...Love your blog; you always post on a variety of interesting topics. Maybe you have already come across these authors, but I didn't see them in your thesis concept map and thought they might be relevant.<BR/><BR/>Richard De Charms <A HREF="http://www.citeulike.org/user/tystl/article/759062" REL="nofollow">defined</A> what he called "origin" and "pawn" orientations in the classroom. In a classroom with an origin orientation, students appear to have some say; in pawn classrooms, children are treated like pawns, controlled by the teacher. Children tend to be internally motivated and have a greater sense of personal responsibility in origin classrooms. <BR/><BR/>Edward Deci and Richard Ryan developed the <A HREF="http://www.citeulike.org/user/tystl/article/759062" REL="nofollow">Self-Determination Theory (SDT)</A> of human motivation. "The theory focuses on the degree to which human behaviors are volitional or self-determined - that is, the degree to which people endorse their actions at the highest level of reflection and engage in the actions with a full sense of choice."<BR/><BR/>I hope this is of interest to you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
