- knowledge and application of psychological theories and concepts on motivation and self-regulation, with a particular focus on expert performance
- understanding of possibilities to research these topics and apply psychological interventions – through case studies, personal experience, and active participation in group exercises and discussions
- strengthening of one's own self-regulation and self-reflection competencies through autonomous theory-practice transfer
- refinement of oral and written techniques to present relevant literature and one’s own self-regulation process during the semesterContent:
Excellent performance, personal accomplishment, and successfully learning new skills in different areas require a particular quality of motivation and specific self-regulation strategies. How can one regulate and structure the road to (personal) excellence? How can one set goals effectively and create a stimulating environment? Which role does flow play? What happens if one is not only motivated, but also feels pressured to perform well? Within the framework of self-regulated learning and using classic and current research literature, psychological theories and interventions that are relevant to (aspiring) experts will be discussed. In class, we will work with case studies as well as the practical application to a mastery experience of the students’ choice. The students will choose a specific task that is relevant to them personally (learning/improving a skill, e.g., in sports or music, giving a talk in a foreign language) and will learn how to plan, execute/train and self-evaluate it. They will also learn methods for successful performance under pressure and can apply these in a final performance (live or video) and presentation.Methods:
Group work and discussions, case studies, documentation and presentation of a self-selected performance task (mastery experience), seminar thesis
