Mission of SIG 8

The mission of the Motivation and Emotion SIG is to promote research and theory on the person and situation influences on the direction, intensity, quality and persistence of human behavior related to learning and instruction in education. This also involves a more applied research approach to understanding the conditions under which motivational and emotional constructs predict achievement behavior, exploring persistence in the face of obstacles and competing demands, and testing the effectiveness of education-related strategies and interventions for motivation and achievement outcomes.

Activities of SIG 8

SIG 8 activities include support of the International Conference on Motivation (ICM) that is held in years between the EARLI Biennial Conferences. The ICM includes a pre-conference Summer School at which graduate students have the opportunity to meet and work with prominent motivation researchers. The SIG also confers Student Research Excellence Awards at each EARLI conference to graduate students whose presentations are judged especially meritorious. The EARLI Motivation and Emotion SIG “Honorary Life Membership Recognitions” honoring distinguished SIG investigators in the field of Motivation and Emotion are awarded biennially at the ICM.

Workshop: Lernmotivation im Studium fördern

Wie kann die Lernmotivation im Studium gesteigert werden? Thomas Martens hat am 30. Juni 2016 an der TU Dresden einen Workshop zum Thema “Heterogenität der Lernmotivation im Studium: Lernprozesse fördern und einfordern” durchgeführt. Dieser Workshop hat die unterschiedlichen Wege der Lernmotivation im Studium beleuchtet. Insbesondere wurde vermittelt, wie individuelle Lernprozesse gezielt gefördert werden können.

Die theoretische Grundlage bildete das Integrierte Lern- und Handlungsmodells (Martens, 2012), das die typischen Prozesse des Lernens in drei Hauptphasen einteilt (Motivierungsphase, Intentionsphase und Volitionsphase) und mit den neurowissenschaftlich fundierten Erkenntnissen von Julius Kuhl (2000) ins Verhältnis setzt.

Motivation und Potenzialentfaltung

Auf der Fachtagung von Bildung & Begabung am 31. Mai 2016 »Perspektive Begabung: Diversität als Chance« hielt Thomas Martens eine Keynote mit dem Titel “Motivation und Potenzialentfaltung”.

Während das eine Kind ganz in seinen Interessen aufgeht und hierin bemerkenswerte Fähigkeiten entwickelt, scheint das andere eher lustlos und desinteressiert. Die Forschung ist sich längst einig: Motivation ist ein treibender Faktor, wenn sich Potenzial in Leistung umsetzen soll. So verschieden junge Menschen sind, so unterschiedlich sehen auch ihre Motivationsprofile aus. Familie, Freunde, Lehrkräfte – sie alle beeinflussen die Entwicklung von Motivation. Diese kann durch einfühlsame Bezugspersonen gefördert werden oder in schwierigen Lebensphasen gedämpft sein. Wie kann es gelingen, angesichts dieser unterschiedlichen Voraussetzungen, Kinder und Jugendliche zu unterstützen, Motivation zu entwickeln und sie zu regulieren? Wie können Schule oder außerschulische Lernorte mit diesen Motivationsprozessen umgehen? Welche Hilfen können angeboten werden?

Different Transitions towards Learning at University: Exploring the Heterogeneity of Motivational Processes

This chapter discusses transitions towards learning at university from a perspective of regulation processes. The Integrated Model of Learning and Action is used to identity different patterns of motivational regulation amongst first-year students at university by using mixed distribution models. Five subpopulations of motivational regulation could be identified: students with self-determined, pragmatic, strategic, negative and anxious learning motivation. Findings about these patterns can be used to design didactic measures to support students’ learning processes.
