| Popis: | The fostering of academic motivation requires a theoretical framework that allows establishing simple strategies in order to guide teachers in their teaching. Self-determination theory is based on a large scientific corpus and it helps to have a better understanding of the elements that influence motivation in practice. According to this theory, autonomous forms of motivation depend on the development of three basic psychological needs: autonomy, competence and relatedness. In an academic setting, the development of these needs requires a context that fosters autonomy, provides structure and allows involvement. Projectbased learning allows decision-making, cooperative work and autonomy and it can be a tool to create this context if teachers follow clear strategies well founded in theory. |
