| | Educational Psychology Interactive: Motivation |
| | The following definitions of motivation were gleaned from a variety of psychology textbooks and reflect the general consensus that motivation is an internal state or condition (sometimes described as a need, desire, or want) that serves to activate or energize behavior and give it direction (see Kleinginna and Kleinginna, 1981a). | | | Most motivation theorists assume that motivation is involved in the performance of all learned responses; that is, a learned behavior will not occur unless it is energized. | | | Social learning (or observational) theory suggests that modeling (imitating others) and vicarious learning (watching others have consequences applied to their behavior) are important motivators of behavior. |

| | TIP: Concepts |
| | Motivation is a piviotal concept in most theories of learning. | | | Motivation to achieve is a function of the individual's desire for success, the expectancy of success, and the incentives provided. | | | In most forms of behaviorial theory, motivation was strictly a function of primary drives such as hunger, sex, sleep, or comfort. |

| | Motivation - Human Resources - Management Portal |
| | The concepts of intrinsic and extrinsic motivation are cardinal concepts in social and humanistic psychology, and represent distinctive mental processes that interact in specific ways that can in turn be observed through observation of individuals in work, school, and other institutionalized settings. | | | Various academic viewpoints posit how intrinsic and extrinsic motivation add to one another or disrupt one another, yet there is still no consensus as to how these motivational events interact, or for that matter what they are. | | | This paper examines the internal and external factors that influence the motivation to learn, as well as the principles of motivation as applied to instructional design. |

| | Motivating Students: A Responsive Classroom Culture |
| | This strand is found in White's (1959) effectance motivation, Weiner's (1972) attribution theory, deCharm's (1984) theory of personal causation, Glasser's (1986) control theory, and the theories of cognitive evaluation and organismic integration of Deci and Ryan (1987). | | | Within each of these motivational constructs, the subjective reality (i.e., the perception of the student) is central to the nature of his/her response to particular situations. | | | Their concerns in the physical domain were a) coping with feeling physically ill when reacting to motivational problems, b) feeling the need for energy release, c) wanting freedom of movement as an aspect of choice and autonomy, and d) valuing handson activities as a key to increased engagement in learning. |

| | Motivation |
| | Part of what a theory of motivation tries to do is explain and predict who has which wants. | | | In other words, you have certain needs or wants (these terms will be used interchangeably), and this causes you to do certain things (behavior), which satisfy those needs (satisfaction), and this can then change which needs/wants are primary (either intensifying certain ones, or allowing you to move on to other ones). | | | One or the other of these may be a more powerful motivator for a given individual. |
