Our Goal: Explain the ‘why’ and ‘how’ to improve student motivation

What Causes ADHD?(Nigg, 2006)
The causes are unclear, but research strongly suggests a biological link
Some environmental toxins (e.g. lead) may be associated with ADHD, but only explain a small portion of cases
Brain imaging techniques have found significant differences in specific parts of the brain for ADHD and peers
EEG scans have been shown to differ between ADHD and peers

Academic Motivation
Motivation has been defined as “…desires, needs, and interests that energize the organism and direct it toward a goal” (Santrock, 1987, p. 662)
Motivation related to achievement has been examined in many ways
From this growing literature, some useful concepts have emerged…

Academic Motivation(Covington, 2000; Olivier & Steenkamp, 2004)
Early theorists suggested there are two components of motivation:
These drives oftentimes conflict, and a student’s classroom behavior depends on the balance or imbalance of the two
Motivation
Hope for Success Fear of Failure
![Page 6: Engaging “Passive Learners” Jason O’ Shell, B.A., Page County High School Brandon K. Schultz, Ed.D., NCSP, James Madison University.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062716/56649ddf5503460f94ad8f4b/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Academic Motivation(Hermans, as cited in Olivier & Steenkamp, 2004)
Later theorists divided fear of failure into two subcomponents:
Low Anxiety High Anxiety
Per
form
ance
Positive Fear of Failure – anxiety that improves performance
Negative Fear of Failure – anxiety that impedes performance
![Page 7: Engaging “Passive Learners” Jason O’ Shell, B.A., Page County High School Brandon K. Schultz, Ed.D., NCSP, James Madison University.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062716/56649ddf5503460f94ad8f4b/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
“Passive Learners”(Barron, Evans, Baranik, Serpell, & Buvinger, 2006)
What is the motivation profile of an adolescent with ADHD and/or related learning difficulties? Tend to have a long history of failure
experiences, which reduces hopes for future successes
“I’m never going to be a good student” Tend to be motivated by fear
(avoiding failure) rather than hope for success
“I just don’t want to look totally stupid”

“Passive Learners”(Olivier & Steenkamp, 2004)
Performance goal orientation – Poor self-regulation Poor frustration
tolerance (e.g., find shorter shortcuts)
External locus of control
Low self-esteem High reward
thresholds

Targeting Motivation?
How do we improve motivation? Traditionally, we use reward
systems (e.g., token economies), most often with younger children in highly structured settings
In theory, providing extrinsic rewards (e.g., points, special activities) eventually leads to intrinsic motivation—when it is done correctly
![Page 11: Engaging “Passive Learners” Jason O’ Shell, B.A., Page County High School Brandon K. Schultz, Ed.D., NCSP, James Madison University.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062716/56649ddf5503460f94ad8f4b/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Targeting Motivation?
But what about middle and high school? Is it too late to influence an adolescent’s intrinsic motivation? Can we strengthen desire or interest?
The research to date seems to have focused on extrinsic influences on motivation, and not so much on intrinsic factors (Piana & Volpe,
2008)

Real-World Applications
What are the best ways to address passive learning styles and performance goal orientations? Classroom environment
Cooperative learning? Motivation to complete assignments
Building interest & providing feedback Conveying concepts effectively Structuring writing assignments
