Motivational conditions experienced by diverse adult learners in cohort-based accelerated degree programs: quantifying learner perceptions for assessment and enhancement of adult motivation to learnBarnes, Pamela Kay January 1900 (has links)
Doctor of Philosophy / Department of Educational Leadership / Sarah J. Fishback / This study measured levels of conditions eliciting intrinsic motivation to learn and examined the correlation of those measures with learner-perceived level of learning. Acquired from adult learners participating in one Midwestern University’s cohort-based degree programs, data helped determine the extent to which learners perceived the presence of four conditions—inclusion, attitude, meaning, and competence—in both classroom and out-of-classroom learning environments. Additionally, the data helped determine which environment and specific conditions most closely correlated with learner-perceived level of current learning; and provided insight into experiences adult learners found positively or negatively impacting motivation to learn.
Surveys were administered in-person to 137 of 150 students within 13 randomly selected cohorts. The survey instrument included a single overall learning attitudinal statement, two Likert scales (classroom and out-of-classroom) each comprised of subscales (inclusion, attitude, meaning, and competence) operationalizing the Motivational Framework for Culturally Responsive Teaching (Framework), a brief demographic section, and a concluding open-ended question regarding experiences impacting motivation to learn. The study used non-parametric analysis to examine dependent variables, motivation conditions, with respect to independent variables; age, gender, race, and degree-level. Additionally, non-parametric analysis examined correlation between condition measures and learner-perceived overall learning.
Significant differences were found in two demographic categories. Underrepresented race/ethnicity students (as a combined category) rated overall out-of-classroom conditions higher than predominant race/ethnicity students; and, associate-level students rated classroom conditions lower than bachelors and masters-level students. Significant differences also occurred in subscales. Female students rated classroom attitude conditions higher than males; underrepresented students rated classroom attitude and competence, and out-of-classroom attitude, meaning, and competence, higher than predominant students; associates-level students rated classroom inclusion lower than both bachelors and masters-level students; and both associates and masters-level students rated classroom competence lower than bachelors-level students.
All conditions, in both environments (classroom and out-of-classroom), were significantly correlated with learner-perceived level of learning; and the classroom scale demonstrated considerably stronger correlation than did the out-of-classroom scale. Of all subscales, both classroom and out-of-classroom meaning demonstrated the strongest correlation with learner-perceived level of learning.
Forty-eight respondents (35% of sample) offered responses to the survey’s concluding statement. Of those respondents offering comments in regard to classroom motivation, instructor characteristics were most often noted. And, of those commenting on out-of-classroom motivation, team formulation and characteristics were predominant.
Through the creation of the Motivation Conditions in Learning Instrument™, this study produced benchmark measures for each Framework condition experienced in both cohort-based classrooms and out-of-classroom team learning; identified differences in measures across demographic categories; and identified correlation of measures with learner-perceived level of learning. Finally, the study provided insight into learner experiences impacting motivation to learn.

Probe Method's Impact on Students' Motivation and Critical Thinking SkillsSpecht, Diane Marie 01 January 2015 (has links)
The probe method (PM) is a learning model that equips students with essential learning strategies and skills so they can be successful and competitive in a highly diverse technological global workforce. Although research indicates this learning model was successful at the elementary school level with improving students' motivation to learn, their critical thinking skills, and their ability to solve complex problems, little research has examined the impact of this method at the high school level for students who participated in a career and technical education (CTE) program. The purpose of this qualitative case study was to fill a gap in knowledge about the role and function of the PM on high school students' motivation to learn and their critical thinking skills in a CTE program. Guided by the conceptual framework of constructivism, data were collected through surveys, reflective journals, interviews with 17 students, and a teacher interview. Data were analyzed through descriptive and content analysis using open coding to determine what active learning was taking place, whether authentic project-based and problem-based learning strategies were implemented, and what 21st century workforce skills were being taught. Findings indicated that the PM had a positive impact on high school students' motivation to learn and their ability to think critically in a CTE program. This study supports positive social change by providing high school CTE teachers with a valuable learning model that infuses reflective thought, collaboration, communication, problem solving, and critical thinking into the learning process while at the same time motivating students to learn.

Using ARCS Motivational Model to Promote Technical and Vocational College Students¡¦ Motivation to Learn and Achievement: A Quasi-Experiment StudyYang, Tzu-hui 14 June 2010 (has links)
The purpose of this study was, based on Keller¡¦s ARCS motivational model, to develop and design feasible instruction in order to improve college students¡¦ motivation to learn and achievement toward information technology and society course. Participants were 220 college students from four classes and two teachers in a technical and vocational college. Each teacher taught two classes, and every teacher was randomly assigned to one experimental group and one control group from those two classes. Data was collected through the administration of Learning
Motivation Inventory (LMI) which was developed by the researcher. In addition, students¡¦ midterm and final exam scores were collected. The collected data was
analyzed by using the statistical methods of t-test, One-Way ANOVA, and Pearson Product-Moment Correlation.
The conclusions of this study are as follows:
1. There was no significant relationship between students¡¦ motivation to learn and achievement.
2. There was no significant difference on students¡¦ motivation to learn of experimental group and control group.
3. There was no significant difference on students¡¦ achievement of experimental group and control group.
Although the results had no significant difference between the two groups. The researcher reviewed the instructional design during courses, and also addressed the status quo for these students¡¦ learning situation. Based on the above conclusions, this research proposed concrete suggestions for educators to promote technical and vocational college students¡¦ motivation to learn and achievement.

Mokinių, turinčių klausos sutrikimų, mokymosi motyvų tyrimas / The analysis of hearing-impared children learning motivesJanulienė, Renata 27 May 2013 (has links)
Siekdami mokyklos nelankymo reiškiniui daryti įtaką, turime išsiaiškinti aplinkybes, kurios jį sąlygoja – kodėl moksleiviai nubyra iš mokyklos, kodėl nenori jos lankyti ir mokytis. Pagrindinės mokyklos moksleivių motyvacijos silpnėjimo priežasčių tyrimas apima bent du aspektus: tai, pirma, aplinkos sąlygas, kurios formuoja vaiko nepalankumą mokyklai, nenorą ją lankyti bei silpnina norą mokytis ir, antra, paties moksleivio nuostatas, požiūrius bei vertybines orientacijas, susiformavusias tomis sąlygomis. Moksleivių mokymosi motyvacijos silpnėjimo priežastys gali būti išorinės (sąlygotos aplinkos) ir vidinės (priklausančios nuo moksleivio savybių). Kiekvieno vaiko sąmonę tiesiogiai ir netiesiogiai formuoja aplinka, kuri daro įtaką ir jo motyvacinei sferai.
Tyrimo tikslas – ištirti mokinių, turinčių klausos sutrikimų, mokymosi motyvus. Teorinėje dalyje analizuojama literatūra apie mokymosi motyvus bei jų svarbą, taip pat pateikiama klausos sutrikimo charakteristika. Empirinėje dalyje analizuojami klausos sutrikimų turinčių mokinių mokymosi motyvai, gauti duomenys lyginami su įprastinės raidos mokinių tyrimo gautais duomenimis. Taip pat buvo analizuojama pedagogų nuomonė apie mokinių mokymosi motyvus. Tyrime, kuris buvo vykdomas anketine apklausa, dalyvavo 232 respondentai. Iš jų 103 klausos sutrikimų turintys, bei 103 įprastinės raidos mokinių, taip pat 26 pedagogai.
Mokslinės literatūros analizė rodo, kad motyvai ir motyvacija, įvairių autorių yra pateikiama skirtingai, tačiau... [toliau žr. visą tekstą] / In order to affect the nonattendance the circumstances determining the students’ unwillingness to attend school have to be ascertained. The main analysis of the reasons of students’ failing motivation includes two aspects. The first aspect concentrates on the surrounding conditions framing the child’s disfavor to school, unwillingness to attend lessons and learn. The second aspect focuses on students’ attitudes, worth orientation which were formed in those circumstances. The failing motivation to learn might be external (effected by the surroundings) and internal (depending on students’ character features). Every child’s consciousness is directly or indirectly formed by the surroundings that have an influence on child’s motivation.
The aim of the analysis is to investigate the learning motives of hearing-impaired students. The first part of the thesis includes the analysis of the literature on learning motives and their importance and provides the characteristic of hearing impairment. In the practical part the hearing-impaired students’ learning motives are analyzed and the received data is compared with conventional development students’ analysis results. Also the opinions of the educators on students‘ learning motives were analyzed. 232 respondents (of which 103 hearing-impaired, and 103 conventional development students) participated in the investigation which was carried out as a questionnaire. 26 educators also participated in the investigation.Scientific literature...

An examination of the influence of primed characteristics of identity on motivation to learn conflict resolution skillsWalters, Karrie Patrice, 1973- 09 1900 (has links)
xiii, 105 p. A print copy of this thesis is available through the UO Libraries. Search the library catalog for the location and call number. / In this study I examined whether priming salient characteristics in martial arts students' martial arts identity would influence their motivation to learn conflict resolution skills. Through a factorial, between-subjects experimental design I evaluated the effects of priming three different characteristics of a martial arts identity on 242 martial arts students, including 'peace' and 'competition' characteristics (experimental conditions) and an exercise" characteristic (control condition). I also examined whether the strength of the specific martial arts identity primed would moderate this relationship and assessed the impact of the conditions on participants' value and self-efficacy for conflict resolution skills, as these are theoretically related to motivation to learn.
By using both multivariate analyses of covariance and binary logistical analysis, I assessed for outcome differences among the conditions. Results demonstrated that participants primed with the notion that `peaceful' characteristics were related to a martial arts identity were significantly more likely to want additional training in conflict resolution skills in comparison to participants primed with the notion that `competitive' characteristics were related to a martial arts identity. When experimental conditions were compared to the control condition, effects differed by sex. The peace prime significantly predicted that men would want additional training in conflict resolution skills, but not women. The competition prime significantly predicted that women would not want additional training in conflict resolution skills, but this was not true for men. Contrary to hypotheses, strength of identity was not a significant moderator of these relationships, and significant differences between experimental and control conditions were not found for the outcome measures of participant value and self-efficacy of conflict resolution skills. Ceiling effects and measurement issues may explain the lack of significant findings on a continuous measure of motivation to learn, but the dichotomous motivation to learn outcome variable was significantly influenced by the prime conditions in the hypothesized directions.
Results of this study have the potential to improve the content and delivery of conflict resolution training with the purpose of improving participant participation and engagement. Study results, strengths, limitations, and implications for future research and practice are discussed. / Committee in charge: Benedict McWhirter, Chairperson, Counseling Psychology and Human Services;

The Effect Of 5e Learning Cycle Model On Eleventh Grade StudentsCetin Dindar, Ayla 01 March 2012 (has links) (PDF)
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of 5E learning cycle model compared to traditional teacher-centered instruction on eleventh grade students&rsquo / conceptual understanding of acids and bases concepts and student motivation to learn chemistry. The measuring tools were Three-tier Acids-Bases Test (TABT) and Chemistry Motivation Questionnaire (CMQ). There were two groups, which were the experimental and traditional group, consisting of 78 students. Before the implementation, the tools were administered as pre-tests to both groups and the semi-structured pre-interviews were conducted with eight students to determine students&rsquo / prior knowledge about acids-bases and motivation to learn chemistry. During the implementation, 5E learning cycle model was used in the experimental group and the traditional teacher-centered instruction was used in the traditional group throughout eight weeks. After the implementation, the tools were administered as post-tests to both groups and the semi-structured post-interviews were conducted with the same students to determine their post knowledge about acids-bases and motivation to learn chemistry. Afterwards, the data were analyzed and descriptive and inferential statistics were obtained. Based on MANCOVA results, there was a statistical significant mean difference between the groups in favor of experimental group. Similarly, the students from experimental group scored higher motivation and this difference was found to be statistically significant. The results were analyzed in terms of gender as well, and there was found no statistically significant differences between the post-test mean scores of girls and boys for the effect of the implementation on understanding of acids-bases concepts or motivation to learn. The inferential statistics results were also supported with the students interviews.

Virtual Reality and Higher Education: Presence and Motivation to Learn Via Immersive Media ExperiencesYang, Hocheol, 0000-0003-2435-2740 January 2020 (has links)
Although many studies have pointed out the limitations of applying more advanced technology in educational settings (Collins & Halverson, 2018; Fedorov & Levitskaya, 2015; Kozma, 1994), some studies have shown media technology enhances essential educational outcomes (Gardner, 1993; Hew & Cheung, 2010; Jensen & Konradsen, 2018; McLellan, 1994; Merchant, Goetz, Cifuentes, Keeney-Kennicutt, & Davis, 2014) and that more immersive media technology can help people to perceive events through media technology better (Bracken & Lombard, 2004; Lombard, Biocca, Freeman, IJsselsteijn, & Schaevitz, 2015; Lombard, Ditton, Grabe, & Reich, 1997; Lombard, Lee, Sun, Xu, & Yang, 2017; Lombard, Reich, Grabe, Bracken, & Ditton, 2000). These current debates lead to a question of whether providing immersive experiences can help to achieve higher goals of education and what is the psychological processes behind it.
The main purpose of this dissertation is to help people exploring these debates by providing more understanding of the psychological processes behind the motivation to learn in higher education when students have more immersive media experiences. Therefore, the role of presence and information processing in HMD VR (Head Mount Display Virtual Reality) on motivation to learn were tested and analyzed with a mixed-method study incorporating a lab experiment and in-depth interviews. Theoretic backgrounds and assumptions of Risk Information Seeking Processing (Kahlor, 2007; Stern & Fineberg, 1996) and Social Cognitive Theory (Ambrose, Bridges, DiPietro, Lovett, & Norman, 2010; Bandura, 1982) were deployed in the study design to see whether and how HMD VR can help transformative learning (Dewey, 1938; Mezirow, 1997; Middleton, 2014; Provident et al., 2015; Stipek, 2002; Taylor, 2007).
Results revealed HMD VR increased students’ Motivation To Learn significantly. The increased level of Motivation To Learn in the HMD condition was also observed in the in-depth interviews. The results support these studies that suggested the association between interactive experiences and enhanced learning outcomes (Ang & Rao, 2008; Hew & Cheung, 2010; Kaufmann, Schmalstieg, & Wagner, 2000; Martín-Gutiérrez, Mora, Añorbe-Díaz, & González-Marrero, 2017; Moreno, Mayer, Spires, & Lester, 2001; Steinberg, 2000). The results also support the effectiveness of creating more immersive learning environments under the Social Cognitive Theory framework (Bandura, 1977; Miltiadou & Savenye, 2003; Rotter, 1990) but with limited support under the Risk Information Seeking and Processing framework (Kahlor, 2007; Stern & Fineberg, 1996). These results demonstrated the relationships between presence and MTL identifying how cultural experiences trigger social responses when people make associations in their higher-order cognitive processes, suggesting para-reality interaction. In addition to the theoretic contribution, the implications of this study provide helpful suggestions and insights to create and use HMD VR content to create transformative learning experiences for students. / Media & Communication
