This MedEd Model is on Motivation.

We’ll focus on making concepts from motivational theory practical to improve teaching, and we plan to cover specific motivation theories in future #MEM.

Check out the objectives, and let’s get started!

2. Goals.jpg

We can’t talk about motivation without talking about goals.

Let’s consider how goals and motivation interact to drive learner behavior.

Now, let’s take a deeper dive into:

  • What motivation is

  • What motivation does, &

  • What factors influence motivation

4. Value.jpg

Now that we understand the relationship between goals and motivation, let’s explore three key influences of motivation.

We’ll start with value. There are different types of value that a learner might perceive, including attainment value, intrinsic value, and instrumental value.

5. Expectancy.jpg

Next, let’s examine two kinds of expectancy and connect these constructs to the idea of “hittability” and to motivation for learning.

6. Support.jpg

Finally, let’s consider the relationship between support in the learning environment and motivation to learn.

7. Behaviors.jpg

When working with an unmotivated learner, our first step is to diagnose the problem.

The schema below can help you use the factors of motivation as a framework for understanding a learner’s behavior.

Once we’ve diagnosed the problem, we can adapt our teaching strategies to the needs of a learner.

Here are some potential responses to learners based on their behavior (and what that behavior tells us about factors of motivation).

Here’s the take homes.
