Brophy (2004) Self-determination theory of intrinsic motivation: meeting students’
needs for autonomy, competence and relatedness.
Connecting with students’ existing intrinsic motivation
Three sets of strategies to increase the role of intrinsic motivation:
1. Use classroom management and teaching styles that address students’ needs for autonomy,
competence, and relatedness ( - hier gaat dit artikel over)
2. Plan learning activities that students are likely to find enjoyable or instrinsically rewarding
3. Modify the design of other learning activities to include features that will enhance the
activities’ appeal
Conceptions of intrinsic motivation
- Affective quality of students’ engagement
- Cognitive aspects: self-actualizing, competence-enhancing, meaningful
- Relative autonomy
- Study results are better with self-determined learning (intrinsic motivation) than with
extrinsic motivation
- Deci and Ryan: intrinsic motivation = the presence of subjective perceptions of self-
determination rather than in terms of the absence of extrinsic incentives or pressures
- Subjective experiences during task engagement
Deci and Ryan’s self-determination theory
A full understanding of goal-directed behavior + psychological development and well-being requires
addressing the needs that give goals their psychological potency and influence people’s self-
regulated activities. Three psychological needs:
1. Autonomy
2. Competence
3. Relatedness
Satisfaction of the three basic needs provides the necessary conditions that allow people the
freedom to engage in self-determined activity.
Levels of extrinsic regulation that increasingly resemble intrinsic motivation
Extrinsically motivated actions can become self-determined through the developmental
processes of internalization and integration.
- Internalization = transformation of externally prescribed regulation or value into an
internally adopted one
- Integration = internalized regulations and valued become integrated into the self
Continuum of four types of extrinsic regulation that can become autonomous self-regulation
