Motivation & Management: Library & Information Services to Students with DisabilitiesPRESENTED BYDr. Ruth Smallproject enablesummer 2011
LEARNING OBJECTIVES • Increase awareness of techniques that can be applied with diverse K-12 learner groups to motivate them in the acquisition of information literacy skills. • Improve working knowledge of motivation strategies that are effective for behavior management of diverse groups of students.
DURING THIS PRESENTATION… • Feel free to ask questions or contribute great ideas at any point. • There will be designated times when I will do the listening and you will do the sharing of successful strategies you have used to motivate students with disabilities. OK, let’s get started!
Why is motivation important? • When motivation is ignored, students can become: • FRUSTRATED • ANGRY • WITHDRAWN • DISCOURAGED • LEARNED HELPLESS
Our Common goal To ensure that all students have equal access to information and an equal opportunity to learn. A motivation model can help move us toward our goal.
THE ARCS MODEL of motivational design • Created by Dr. John M. Keller, FSU • Developed at Syracuse University • One of only two such models • Based on a number of motivation theories (E-V Theory) • Identifies four essential components (A-R-C-S)to motivating instruction
The ARCS Model of Motivational Design ATTENTION: AROUSE CURIOSITY & INTEREST. • Promote active participation. • Provide variety. • Find ways to build on students’ interests.
Promote active participation. • In group work, assign each student with a specific task that allows them to bring their strengths (knowledge, skills, experiences) to the effort. • Teach appropriate use of technologies and make them accessible for electronic interactions both in and out of school. • Be willing to modify instruction to ensure that all students can participate successfully.
The ARCS Model of Motivational Design ATTENTION: AROUSE CURIOSITY & INTEREST. • Promote active participation. • Provide variety. • Find ways to build on students’ interests.
Provide variety to address student needs and interests. Universal Design for Learning (UDL) • Multiple Means of Representation: present information and content in different ways (presentation methods) • Multiple Means of Action & Expression: differentiate the ways students can express what they know (ways to assess learning) • Multiple Means of Engagement: stimulate interest and motivation for learning (strategies that promote challenge, excitement, interest) (presentation style)
Provide variety to address student needs and interests. YOUR TURN How could/do you provide variety to address the needs and interests of students with disabilities?
The ARCS Model of Motivational Design ATTENTION: AROUSE CURIOSITY & INTEREST. • Promote active participation. • Provide variety to address student needs and interests. • Find ways to build on students’ interests.
Pose questions or problems. • Ask (you) questions that are appropriate for student’s level and interests. • Encourage questioning (students). • Provide access to a range of compliant resources that help to answer questions and solve problems.
The ARCS Model of Motivational Design RELEVANCE: DEMONSTRATE IMPORTANCE AND USEFULNESS. • Model appropriate behaviors. • Share expectations. • Provide choice.
Model appropriate behaviors. • Model appropriate social and learning behaviors. • Acknowledge appropriate behavior in students. • Bring in outside models of behavior from community or beyond.
The ARCS Model of Motivational Design RELEVANCE: DEMONSTRATE IMPORTANCE AND USEFULNESS. • Model appropriate behaviors. • Share expectations. • Provide choice.
share expectations. • Collaboratively develop learning or achievement goals with students. • Provide evaluation criteria. • Be flexible about ways to assess learning.
The ARCS Model of Motivational Design RELEVANCE: DEMONSTRATE IMPORTANCE AND USEFULNESS. • Model appropriate behaviors. • Share expectations. • Provide choice.
Provide choice. Autonomy vs. Control Autonomy supportive environment: choice, respect for students’ needs and interests (more student-directed) Controlling environment: external rewards, pressures, controls (more teacher-directed)
Provide choice. YOUR TURN In what ways could/do you provide choices to students with disabilities?
The ARCS Model of Motivational Design CONFIDENCE: PROVIDE OPPORTUNITIES TO BUILD SELF-ESTEEM BASED ON SUCCESS. • Build competence. • Provide appropriate level of challenge. • Provide feedback.
Build competence. • Provide a friendly, accessible physical and emotional environment in which students feel safe and secure. • Create an atmosphere of trust. • Insure each IEP includes the scaffolding and support needed for students to be successful in library and information tasks.
The ARCS Model of Motivational Design CONFIDENCE: PROVIDE OPPORTUNITIES TO BUILD SELF-ESTEEM BASED ON SUCCESS. • Build competence. • Identify and provide appropriate level of challenge. • Provide feedback.
Provide appropriate level of challenge. YOUR TURN In what ways could/do youidentify and provide an appropriate level of challenge to students with disabilities?
The ARCS Model of Motivational Design CONFIDENCE: PROVIDE OPPORTUNITIES TO BUILD SELF-ESTEEM BASED ON SUCCESS. • Build competence. • Identify and provide appropriate level of challenge. • Provide feedback.
provide feedback. Feedback: information about performance that leads to action to change or maintain performance. Two types: • encouragement(motivational) • advice (corrective) From D.T. Tosti, Feedback and Performance. http://www.ispi.org/archives/resources/FeedbackandPerformance_Tosti.pdf.
provide feedback. Encouragement: lets people know what they’ve done well and recognizes or rewards them for it. Purpose: to encourage the person to continue or even increase the performance. Timing: Given immediately following performance to increase confidence and satisfaction. From D.T. Tosti, Feedback and Performance. http://www.ispi.org/archives/resources/FeedbackandPerformance_Tosti.pdf.
provide feedback. Advice: lets people know what should be improved and how to make the improvement. Purpose: to advise the person about how to perform betterthe next time. Timing: Given immediately before the next performance to increase competence. From D.T. Tosti, Feedback and Performance. http://www.ispi.org/archives/resources/FeedbackandPerformance_Tosti.pdf.
Provide feedback. • Give enough feedback. • Give useful feedback. • Give timely feedback.
The ARCS Model of Motivational Design SATISFACTION: PROVIDE OPPORTUNITIES TO FEEL GOOD ABOUT ACCOMPLISHMENTS AND INCREASE INTRINSIC MOTIVATION. • Use appropriate rewards. • Allocate time for reflection. • Provide enrichment opportunities.
Use appropriate rewards. • Rewards relevant to the task have a long lasting effect. • Tying rewards to effort and accomplishment is essential. • Acknowledgement of good work (by instructor, by peers, by others) is an effective reward.
The ARCS Model of Motivational Design SATISFACTION: PROVIDE OPPORTUNITIES TO FEEL GOOD ABOUT ACCOMPLISHMENTS AND INCREASE INTRINSIC MOTIVATION. • Use appropriate rewards. • Allocate time for reflection. • Provide enrichment opportunities.
Allow time for reflection. • Provide sufficient time for learning. • Build in stop points for students to think about/share what they are learning. • Help students reflect (teach them how) on the process and product of their learning.
The ARCS Model of Motivational Design SATISFACTION: PROVIDE OPPORTUNITIES TO FEEL GOOD ABOUT ACCOMPLISHMENTS AND INCREASE INTRINSIC MOTIVATION. • Use appropriate rewards. • Allocate time for reflection. • Provide enrichment opportunities.
Provide opportunities for enrichment. YOUR TURN How could/do you provide students with disabilities with opportunities for enrichment?
