Purpose

In this course, students will explore research on motivation as it relates to projects they are working on.  Some students anticipate reviewing basic theories of achievement motivation, writing a review of research as a final project.  Other students anticipate extending their masters thesis or dissertation topics into the field of motivation and will be looking for guidance.  Still other students are ready to design a study related to achievement motivation.  Some topics include:

§                     Exploring needs-based theories of motivation.

§                     Coordinating issues of motivation and moral development.

§                     Determining relationships between social comparison and motivation.

§                     Elaborating on how personality traits influence motivation.

§                     Considering students’ motivation to complete homework assignments.

§                     Identifying the means by which motivation influences the development of literacy.

 

Assignments and Ground Rules
Class sessions will be organized in a workshop fashion with students eliciting advice from their peers and the instructor on how to develop a strong research project/review of research in motivation.  Student will construct a personal evaluation plan and grades will reflect their progress in meeting goals negotiated with the instructor.

This class relies heavily on weekly discussions.  The most important assignment, therefore, is to prepare something to share with the group before coming to class.  Although I do not take formal attendance, everyone's absence is felt.  Excessive absences have made it impossible for students in past semesters to follow what is going on, and such students typically end up with relatively low grades in the course.

Instead of tests, students will be asked to participate in a variety of conversations and to construct a final project outlining their progress in the course.  Students who have projects underway will be encouraged to continue working on those projects.  By the end of the semester, students should be able to summarize major theories in the field of motivation, present the results of a project they have completed, and write an authoritative paper outlining the lessons they have learned.

We will rely on jigsaw teaching techniques that require each student to develop expertise in an area related to motivation.  Below is a sample of books to help students get started in their inquiries.
