Project Summary: From the "Scenarios" below, choose one scenario and respond to the questions that relate to the scenario you selected. Write a 250-500-word essay on Motivation Response to the scenario that you chose. Be sure to identify the relevant theories and explain how you arrived at your conclusions. If you chose Scenario One, describe the following: 1. Considering the motivation theories, explain Caitlins lack of motivation. 2. In light of the behaviorist and/or social cognitive theories, identify three strategies Daran could employ to develop Caitlins motivation. 3. Explain how Daran implements one of your suggestions and how Caitlin responds to Darans support. In your response, use your knowledge of Maslow's hierarchy of needs, achievement motivation, intrinsic, and extrinsic motivation. Be sure to identify the relevant theories and explain how you arrived at your conclusions. If you chose Scenario Two, describe the following: 1. Considering the motivation theories, explain Drews lack of motivation. 2. In light of the behaviorist and/or social cognitive theories, identify three strategies Emily could employ to develop Caitlins motivation. 3. Explain how Emily implements one of your suggestions and how Drew responds to Emilys support. In your response, use your knowledge of attributions, entity versus incremental views of ability, and task-involved versus ego-involved learners. Scenario One You have a friend, Daran Brown, who is teaching this year for the first time at a local high school, and he has not had a motivation class. He tells you his concerns regarding one of his sophomore students, Caitlin. Caitlin is a new student at the high school who moved to Phoenix with her mother this summer from Tucson following her parents' divorce. Although Daran believes that she is very bright, Caitlin is barely earning a C in Daran's world history class. She seldom takes notes, even when Daran reviews material for tests, and instead makes jokes to other students about how she does not care about school. Your friend also has overheard Caitlin complain that this history stuff is just boring and that it is too much work to get an A in this class. Daran feels Caitlin is completely unmotivated. Scenario Two You have a friend, Emily Weller, who is teaching this year for the first time at a local elementary school, and she has not had a motivation class. She tells you her concerns about one of her fourth grade students, Drew. Although Drew has a C+ in Emily's science class, she feels that he is capable of learning much more and could be an A student. Yet Emily believes that Drew is unmotivated to put forth much effort. For instance, Drew often complains to other students that the class is too much work, and who cares about this science stuff anyway? In addition, after a recent test in which Drew received a D, Emily overheard Drew talking to another student. Emily was dismayed to hear Drew say, "Why bother studying? You get it or you don't. And I don't. So studying is not going to change anything."
