Motivation and the learning process

Reference no: EM13307612

Motivation and the learning process: What motivates development, and by what process does a child learn? Does the theorist identify or imply forces that motivate behavior? If so, what are these forces and what are their characteristics? If several motivating factors are identified in the theory, do all of them carry equal power and importance? If not, which are more significant and why? If they differ in potency, do their relative degrees of power change from one growth stage or one age level to another? Which source—the child’s inner needs or the environment’s stimuli---is more important in determining where the child directs his or her attention? In this theory, how does motivation fit into the overall picture of the learning process? What are the necessary conditions for learning to occur? What are the elements or mechanisms the learning process comprises, and how do the elements interact?
