This theory explains that we attribute our success or failures or other events to several factors.
Attribution Theory
Locus (place)- Attribution Theory
Internal versus external
Stable versus unstable. If you attribute your poor performance to what you have inherited from your parents. (Attribution Theory)
Stability-
Controllable versus uncontrollable. If your student claims his poor
academic performance is due to his teacher’s ineffective teaching strategy, he attributes his poor performance to a factor beyond his control. (Attribution Theory)
Controllability
is the belief that one has the necessary capabilities to perform a task, fulfill role expectations, or meet a challenging situation successfully.
Self-efficacy
Students are intrinsically motivated when they have a sense of self-determination – when they believe that they have some choice and control regarding the things they do
and the directions their lives take.
Self-determination and Self-regulation Theories
refers to a person’s ability to master himself.
Self-regulation
Self-regulated learners know what they want to accomplish when they
read or study.
Goal-setting
Self-regulated learners determine ahead of time how best to use the time they have available for learning
Planning
Self-regulated learners try to focus their attention on the subject
matter at hand and clear their minds of distracting thoughts and emotions.
Attention control
Self-regulated learners choose different learning strategies depending on the specific goal they want to accomplish.
Application of learning strategies
Self-regulated learners continually monitor their progress toward their
goals and they change their learning strategies or modify their goals, if necessary
Self-monitoring
Self-regulated learners determine whether what they have learned is
sufficient for the goals they have set.
Self-evaluation
is biological theory that suggests that we are born with specific needs that we are genetically instructed to satisfy.
choice theory
four basic psychological needs that must be satisfied to be emotionally healthy:
(1) Belonging or connecting (2) Power or competence (3) Freedom (4) Fun
is based on a simple
premise: human beings have needs that are hierarchically ranked.
Hierarchy of Needs Theory
