can i do the task?<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px\">2. value &#8211; do i want to do the task?<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 80px\"><em>\u2022 intrinsic or interest value<\/em>: the inherent enjoyment that an individual experiences from engaging in the task for its own sake.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 80px\"><em>\u2022 utility value<\/em>: the usefulness of the task in helping achieve other short term or long-term goals.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 80px\"><em>\u2022 attainment value<\/em>: the task affirms a valued aspect of an individual\u2019s identity and meets a need that is important to the individual.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px\">3. cost &#8211; am i free of barriers that prevent me from investing my time, energy, and resources into the activity?<\/p>\n<p>it\u2019s important to note that expectancy, value and cost are not shaped only when a student enters your classroom. these have been shaped over time by both individual and contextual factors. each of your students comes in with an initial response, however there are strategies for encouraging student success, clarifying subject meaning and finding ways to mitigate costs that will increase your students\u2019 motivation. everyone may not end up at the same level of motivation, but if you can increase each student\u2019s motivation, it will help the overall atmosphere and productivity of the course that you are teaching.<\/p>\n<h3>strategies to enhance expectancy, value, and cost<\/h3>\n<p>hulleman et. al (2016) summarize research-based sources that positively impact students\u2019 expectancy beliefs, perceptions of task value, and perceptions of cost, which might point to useful strategies that instructors can employ.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center\">research-based sources of expectancy-related beliefs<\/h4>\n<table style=\"height: 1207px\" width=\"949\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"198\">\n<h6>expectancy source<\/h6>\n<\/td>\n<td width=\"474\">\n<h6>definition<\/h6>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"198\"><span style=\"color: #800000\"><strong>perceptions of ability\/skill<\/strong><\/span><\/td>\n<td width=\"474\">when students perceive they have a high level of ability and\/or skill at an activity, they are more likely to experience high expectancy (bandura, 1997;

design<\/h2>\n<p>the arcs model of instructional design was created to improve the motivational appeal of instructional materials. the arcs model is grounded in an expectancy-value framework, which assumes that people are motivated to engage in an activity if it\u2019s perceived to be linked to the satisfaction of personal needs and if there is a positive expectancy for success. the purpose of this model was to fill a gap in the motivation literature by providing a model that could more clearly allow instructors to identify strategies to help improve motivation levels within their students.<\/p>\n<p>arcs is an acronym that stands for four factors, according to the model, that influence student motivation: attention, relevance, confidence, and satisfaction.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>attention<\/strong> refers to getting and sustaining student attention and directing attention to the appropriate stimuli.<\/li>\n<li><strong>relevance<\/strong> involves making instruction applicable to present and future career opportunities, showing that learning in it of itself is enjoyable, and\/or focusing on process over product by satisfying students\u2019 psychological needs (e.g., need for achievement, need for affiliation).<\/li>\n<li><strong>confidence<\/strong> includes helping students believe that some level of success is possible if effort is exerted.<\/li>\n<li><strong>satisfaction<\/strong> is attained by helping students feel good about their accomplishments and allowing them to exert some degree of control over the learning experience.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>to use the arcs instructional design model, these steps can be followed:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><em>define<\/em>\n<ul>\n<li>classify the problem<\/li>\n<li>analyze audience motivation<\/li>\n<li>prepare motivational objectives (i.e., identify which factor in the arcs model to target based on the defined problem and audience

theory<\/h2>\n<p>self-determination theory (sdt) is a macro-theory of human motivation, emotion, and development that is concerned with the social conditions that facilitate or hinder human flourishing. while applicable to many domains, the theory has been commonly used to understand what moves students to act and persist in educational settings. sdt focuses on the factors that influence intrinsic and extrinsic motivation, which primarily involves the satisfaction of basic psychological needs.<\/p>\n<h3>basic psychological needs<\/h3>\n<p>sdt posits that human motivation is guided by the need to fulfill basic psychological needs for autonomy, competence, and relatedness.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>autonomy<\/strong> refers to having a choice in one\u2019s own individual behaviors and feeling that those behaviors stem from individual volition rather than from external pressure or control. in educational contexts, students feel autonomous when they are given options, within a structure, about how to perform or present their work.<\/li>\n<li><strong>competence<\/strong> refers to perceiving one\u2019s own behaviors or actions as effective and efficient. students feel competent when they are able to track their progress in developing skills or an understanding of course material. this is often fostered when students receive clear feedback regarding their progression in the class.<\/li>\n<li><strong>relatedness<\/strong> refers to feeling a sense of belonging, closeness, and support from others. in educational settings, relatedness is fostered when students feel connected, both intellectually and emotionally, to their peers and instructors in the class. this can often be accomplished through interactions that allow members of the class to get to know each other on a deeper, more personal level.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>continuum of self-determination<\/h3>\n<p>sdt also posits that motivation exists on a continuum. when an environment provides enough support for the satisfaction of the psychological needs of autonomy, competence and relatedness, an individual may experience self-determined forms of motivation: intrinsic motivation, integration, and identification. self-determined motivation occurs when there is an internal perceived locus of causality (i.e., internal factors are the main driving force for the behavior). integration and identification are also grouped as autonomous extrinsic motivation as the behavior is driven by internal and volitional choice.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px\"><strong>intrinsic motivation<\/strong>, which is the most self-determined type of motivation, occurs when individuals naturally and spontaneously perform behaviors as a result of genuine interest and enjoyment.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px\"><strong>integrated regulation<\/strong> is when individuals identify the importance of a behavior, integrate this behavior into their self-concept, and pursue activities that align with this self-concept.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px\"><strong>identified regulation<\/strong> is where people identify and recognize the value of a behavior, which then drives their action.<\/p>\n<p>when an environment does not provide enough support for the satisfaction of autonomy, competence, and relatedness, an individual may experience non-self-determined forms of motivation: introjection and external regulation. introjection and external regulation are grouped as controlled extrinsic motivation because people enact these behaviors due to external or internal pressures.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px\"><strong>introjected regulation<\/strong> occurs when individuals are controlled by internalized consequences administered by the individual themselves, such as pride, shame, or guilt.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px\"><strong>external regulation<\/strong> is when people\u2019s behaviors are controlled exclusively by external factors, such as rewards or punishments.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px\">finally, at the bottom of the continuum is amotivation, which is lowest form of motivation.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px\"><strong>amotivation<\/strong> exists when there is a complete lack of intention to behave and there is no sense of achievement or purpose when the behavior is performed.<\/p>\n<p>below is a figure depicting the continuum of self-determination taken from lonsdale, hodge, and rose (2009).<\/p>\n<p><a

\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>although having intrinsically motivated students would be the ultimate goal, it may not be a practical one within educational settings. that\u2019s because there are several tasks that are required of students to meet particular learning objectives that may not be inherently interesting or enjoyable. instead, instructors can employ various strategies to satisfy students\u2019 basic psychological needs, which should move their level of motivation along the continuum, and hopefully lead to more self-determined forms of motivation, thus yielding the greatest rewards in terms of student academic outcomes.<\/p>\n<p>below are suggestions for how instructors can positively impact students\u2019 perceived autonomy, competence, and relatedness.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>strategies to enhance autonomy, competence, and relatedness<\/h3>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center\">autonomy strategies<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>have students choose
