What are student and teacher perspectives on motivation at an undergraduate university in Hong Kong

Cheung, Allan Chu Lam 01 June 2017 (has links)
The purpose of this study is to investigate motivational perspectives of student and teacher at City University of Hong Kong. Questionnaires were distributed to students and teachers for quantitative data collection. With the use of Dornyei and Csizer's (1998) macrostrategies and clusters, this study hopes to suggest motivational actions and strategies in order to understand and discuss better L2 learning and teaching environments among teachers and students. 2. Introduction. Research on motivation has contributed immensely in the area of social psychology but also more recently in the past few decades to language development in the L2 arena. L2 motivation is multifaceted and contains features of personality and social dimensions that are embedded into the culture of a community (Dornyei, 1998). A person's self-identity to learn an L2 plays a vital role in motivation since learning and mastering a language differ from subject matters such as mathematics (Dornyei, 1998). These shifts towards social psychology lead to the further research in L2 learning. Teachers' skills are essential to student motivation which is central to teaching effectiveness (Dornyei, 1998). The importance of teacher expectations is a vital part of research for teachers who would have a huge influence on student motivation as the authoritative figure of the classroom. For instance, according to Cheng (2011), "motivation is then looked into not only from the learners' point of view but also teachers perception of motivation, teaching practices and their relation with learners performance". Studies conducted by Dornyei and Csizer (1998) where Hungarian teachers were asked about their perspectives on motivation and Cheng and Dornyei (2007) in which English teachers from Taiwan participated in a study about motivation perspectives, reinforce the importance of studying the perspectives of teacher motivation. A small scale study conducted by Ya-Nan He titled "Motivational Strategies: Students' and Teachers' Perspectives" (2009) at Kent State University in the USA studies the perspectives of teacher and student on teacher actions. Va's study is an extension of the Dornyei and Csizer's (1998) and Cheng & Dornyei's (2007) studies, where her quantitative study surveyed 40 students from various nationalities and 11 teachers.

Lokus van kontrole in atletiek

Venter, Johanna Sophia 11 September 2012 (has links)
M.A. / This study was conducted to ascertain whether there is a significant relationship between an internal locus of control orientation and elite sport performance. The question can be asked if Springbok athletes have a more internal locus of control orientation than provincial athletes and athletes in training and whether provincial athletes have a more internal locus of control than athletes in training. The term locus of control refers to the amount of control a person believes he has over the things that happen to him. A person that regards himself as someone with control over his environment and circumstances is termed a person with a internal locus of control. What happens to him and the reward he gets is dependent on his own behaviour. There are persons, on the other hand, that believe that what happens to them in their sport careers is the result of external circumstances: luck, chance or what others do to them. These persons believe that they do not have any control over what happens to them and therefore are called persons with an external locus of control. It is believed that locus of control can influence performance positively or negatively. This study tries to give answers on whether or not elite athletes have an internal locus of control. Sixty athlete's of age 16 and older were selected and divided into three groups. The first group are athletes that compete on international level, while the second group consists of athletes that compete on provincial level. The third group consists of athletes that are in training and represent athletes that perform well on school-level as well as members of sport clubs. The instrument used to test the athletes was the Internal-External Locus of Control Scale of J.B. Rotter (1966). The results confirms that elite athletes operate within an internal locus of control framework. Although not statistically significant, it seems as if athletes that compete on international level function more in an internal locus of control framework. It appears as if there is a certain interaction between top level performers and an internal locus of control.

'n Houdingstudie binne die raamwerk van die Herzberg motiveringshigiëneteorie in 'n vervoerorganisasie

Senekal, Etienne 10 September 2012 (has links)
M.Comm. / The organisation has shown tremendous growth over the past few years. Management processes however, have not grown and developed in line with organisational growth, resulting in performance not being managed effectively. This is especially evident in the more technical areas of the business where systematic processes are used to a great extent. In these areas, the lack of standards and defined outputs have contributed to business goals not always being achieved. It was further difficult, and sometimes impossible for staff to be transferred between different divisions of the business due to the total lack of a job grading system with remuneration parameters linked to this. On top of this, a general dissatisfaction was evident amongst personnel, which made it very difficult for management to maintain a motivated workforce. Keeping the above in mind, it became necessary to establish exactly what caused personnel to be dissatisfied, in order for the organisation to eliminate these factors and work towards promoting factors which would motivate personnel. It would not be sufficient though to merely address the abovementioned problems. Different motivational theories were researched to assist in identifying the cause of the dissatisfaction. Most of the theories mainly consider motivation from a personal perspective, while Herzberg also considers the job and the place of work. This in my mind, creates a context within which an organisation's motivational problems can accurately and successfully be researched. For this reason, Herzberg's theory was found to be the more appropriate one for purposes of this study.
