Psychological Needs and Human Motivation: Research in the Classrooms and Clinics from Self-Determination Theory.

In contexts involving learning or personal change, fostering self-motivation is a critical issue.聽 In this talk Dr. Ryan will present research based in self-determination theory (SDT) concerning how teachers, therapists and other motivators facilitate or undermine autonomous motivation and its positive consequences for learning and wellness. He will also discuss such varied issues as: why video game based learning is 聽(sometimes) engaging; how evaluations and incentives impact teaching and clinical practice; and what is culturally universal about motivation. Finally, he will discuss practical elements in motivating oneself and others.
