Extensive research in the achievement motivation literature has demonstrated that students’ experiences with academic errors can shape their motivation and achievement in adaptive or maladaptive ways. Since academic errors are predominantly identified and addressed by teachers, teacher responses to students’ academic errors play a pivotal role in shaping student interpretations of errors. To guide teachers toward productive use of errors for instruction and adaptive motivation and prevent maladaptive motivational trajectories for students, we must first understand the nature of students’ errors and how teachers’ respond to them early on in students’ schooling. To this end, the current study examines academic errors and teacher responses to them in the preschool classroom. Thirty teachers were observed during whole group book-readings, which were transcribed and coded both inductively and deductively. Findings indicated children’s errors most often arose because of deviations from behavioral norms or teachers’ content expectations. Teachers responded to children’s errors most often by correcting students’ errors and providing information or asking closed follow up questions. The findings from this study are important to consider for researchers, teachers, parents, and teacher preparation and in-service professional development programs.

Full textThe need related behavioral dynamics that are revealed in self-determination and academic motivation research control factors which pinpoint and examine settings that facilitate self-motivation and well-being. This study examined differences in motivational and self-determination behaviors among three ethnic groups of Nigerian university students using a sample of students attending the University of Ibadan. The research continues the dialogue of the role of ethnicity in the motivational and self-determination behaviors by focusing on Nigerian students. Lastly, the study expands the current literature on motivation and self-determination by adding a study focusing on Nigerian students. Twenty-one hypotheses were tested to answer five research questions in the study. The research questions addressed whether significant statistical differences existed in academic motivation scores of Nigerian students based on their ethnicities or whether the parents' level of education affected the students' motivation, or self-determination. The questions also explored any statistical differences in self-determination of students based on their ethnicities or if there were differences between self-determination and gender, scholarship status, or number of children. Lastly, the questions addressed if there were differences in the type of prerequisites for entry to University of Ibadan. There were no statistically significant differences in means of the three broad types of academic motivation and perceived choice scores on the SDS based on ethnicity, parents' level of education, gender, scholarship status, number of children each participant had, and the kind of entry examinations that were taken. There were statistically significant differences in the mean of awareness of self scores based on parents' level of education and scholarship status. There was also a statistically significant difference in the mean perceived choice scores on the SDS based on the number of children each participant had. There were no statistically significant differences based on students' prerequisites.

Full textLa présente thèse vise à examiner les relations différentielles et longitudinales entre les types de motivation, la réussite et la persévérance scolaires auprès des jeunes du secondaire et du collégial. La motivation scolaire fut définie en tant que construit multidimensionnel, comportant les types intrinsèque, contrôlés et amotivés. L'Étude 1 consiste en une méta-analyse démontrant les relations positives entre la motivation intrinsèque, la régulation identifiée et la réussite et la persévérance scolaires, ainsi que la relation négative entre l'amotivation et ces mêmes variables résultantes. De plus, cette étude atteste l'effet faible et variable des motivations par régulation introjectée et externe. En se basant sur ces résultats, l'Étude 2 illustre, à l'aide d'un devis longitudinal et de variables contrôles au temps 1, que la motivation intrinsèque est la seule à prédire une hausse du rendement scolaire et une baisse des intentions de décrochage sur un an. L'Étude 3, ayant pour objectif de reproduire ces résultats auprès d'un échantillon d'étudiants en période de transition du secondaire au collégial, démontra que la motivation intrinsèque était associée significativement à une augmentation du rendement et de la persévérance en sciences à l'université. D'autre part, cette étude démontre que la régulation introjectée est liée à une baisse de réussite et de persévérance en sciences au niveau universitaire. Ces trois études démontrent que la motivation intrinsèque serait la forme de motivation la plus bénéfique pour le rendement et la persévérance des jeunes. Elles évoquent également que la prévention du décrochage scolaire devrait cibler le développement de la motivation par régulation introjectée et l'amotivation, surtout durant les périodes de transitions scolaires.

This study was used to understand how pre-service teachers perceive motivation through an active learning assignment called Pink Time. Pre-service teachers participated in two Pink Time assignments by skipping class and learning about a self-selected topic related to education. During the next class session, the pre-service teachers presented what they had learned through the assignment and about themselves as learners. After the presentations were completed, the researcher facilitated a discussion with motivation-related questions. After completing the second Pink Time assignment, pre-service teachers were given a survey that included open-ended questions. Five interviews were conducted after the two Pink Time assignments were completed. Analysis from the interviews, group discussions, and answers on the open-ended items suggested that pre-service teachers described their motivation-related perceptions of Pink Time with three overall themes: influencers of motivation, outcomes of Pink Time, and reactions toward Pink Time. This study showed that Pink Time supported pre-service teachers' motivation related to empowerment, usefulness, success, interest, and caring. Implications of this study can lead to teacher educator programs using Pink Time to support pre-service teachers' motivation. Implications are discussed for the PK-12 school setting as PK-12 teachers can support their students' motivation by allowing young learners to choose topics of interest to learn.
