A Motivational View of Constructivist‐informed Teaching
Abstract
Constructivist and conceptual change perspectives on learning have given rise to a number of models of constructivist classroom teaching. Motivation has been recognized as an important factor in the construction of knowledge and the process of conceptual change, so one could expect that motivation strategies would be integral components of constructivist‐informed teaching. The purpose of this paper was to examine, by literature review, the extent to which motivation strategies have been included in extant models of constructivist‐informed teaching. The study involved the development of a list of motivation strategies, based on current motivation constructs. Several constructivist‐informed teaching models were then analysed. It was found that these models were rather limited in the extent to which they had explicitly integrated motivation. It was also found that some aspects of the models were not entirely in accord with current views of motivation. Finally, a motivational model of constructivist‐informed teaching was developed and its three components were described.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
