    Information

    Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

    1. Learning Objective:
    The primary learning objective of this course is to equip students with a deep understanding of key motivation theories and research in educational psychology. Students will learn to critically evaluate theoretical and empirical literature, apply motivation principles to real-world educational contexts, and develop skills to design and present proposals for empirical studies on motivation. Additionally, they will gain insights into how motivation impacts learning and performance, and how to implement motivation-enhancing strategies in their professional practice as educators.

    2. Content to Be Taught:
    Introduction to Motivation: Definitions, concepts, and the relationship between motivation, learning, and performance.
    Theoretical Perspectives on Motivation: Intrinsic vs. extrinsic motivation, self-determination theory, interest, self-efficacy, and expectancy-value theory.
    Research Methods in Motivation: Tools and strategies for assessing motivation
    Motivation and Educational Contexts: How motivation influences classroom practices and teaching, and strategies to enhance student motivation.
    Proposal Development: Group work to create and present an mini empirical study proposal focused on motivation.

    3. How the Content Will Be Taught:
    The course will be taught through a combination of:
    Short lectures to introduce core concepts and theories of motivation.
    Group work, where students will develop and present a proposal for an empirical study.
    Class discussions and activities designed to engage students in applying motivational theories to real-world educational challenges.
    1 Short mini test and reflective tasks to reinforce the concepts and assess students' understanding of the material.
    The course is an online course.

    Art der Leistungskontrolle und erlaubte Hilfsmittel

    Permitted Aids for the Examination/Partial Performances:
    For Mini-Tasks and Group Proposal/Presentation: Students may use course materials (articles, textbooks, notes) and external academic resources. Collaboration with group members is encouraged for the proposal and presentation.

    For the Short Test: No materials are allowed during the multiple-choice mini-test. Students must complete this test individually without the use of notes, textbooks, or external resources.
