Self-Determination Theory (Has identified three human needs: competence …
Self-Determination Theory
"an approach to human motivation and personality... that highlights the importance of humans' evolved inner resources for personality develipment and behavioural self-regulation"
Has identified three human needs:
competence
relatedness
autonomy
That this is environmental too => sociocultural theory to a certain extent
Research has been based on Bacon tradition - manipulate variables to see what effect they have
Primary concern is well-being of individuals
I so relate to this statement: "Excessive control, nonoptimal challenges, and lack of connectedness... result not only in the lack of initiative and responsibility but also in distress and psychopathology"
Cognitive evaluation theory:
That social-contextual events that promote a sense of competence increase intrinsic motivation [this is at odds with Dweck]
That intrinsic motivation needs a sense of autonomy too (i.e. internal locus of control)
The relatedness - issues of self-esteem, confidence and security. We are after all social creatures
"It is critical to remember, however, that people will be intrinsically motivated only for activities that hold intrinsic interest for them, activities that have the appeal of novelty, challenge, or aesthetic value."
SDT proposes that we are all motivated to improve
Intrinsic motivation - "the inherent tendency to seek out novelty and challenges, to extend and exercise one's capacities, to explore, and to learn."
To maintain intrinsic motivation, you need "supportive conditions"
"The term extrinsic motivation refers to the performance of an activity in order to attain some separable outcome and, thus, contrasts with intrinsic motivation, which refers to doing an activity for the inherent satisfaction of the activity itself."
Organismic integration theory
Four steps in between non-regulation and intrinsic regulation
External regulation
Introjected regulation
Identified regulation
Integrated regulation
This all has to do with locus of control. SDT aims to help the learner move from non-regulation to instrinsic regulation; i.e. from no or external locus of control to internal locus of control.
