Abstract

This article describes a practical approach to diagnosing and solving some of the motivation problems encountered in educational settings using the evidence-based Belief-Expectancy-Control (BEC) Framework. We think of this framework as a “learning engineering” approach, because it integrates and applies a wide array of research results and clinical experience by teachers and instructional designers to guide the solution of a practical problem at scale: how to identify and solve some of the typical motivation problems experienced by teachers and instructional designers serving adolescent and adult students. Our hope is that the BEC framework, will result in a growing practice base and will allow us to personalize effort-based motivation to benefit a greater diversity of students.

  • Relatively little attention has been paid to supporting the full range of motivation processes key to learning and achievement.

    “Though relatively little attention has been paid to supporting the full range of motivation processes key to learning and achievement (Clark & Saxberg, 2018), intervention efforts that target motivational systems show great promise (Lazowski & Hulleman, 2016;Paunesku et al., 2015;Yeager & Walton, 2011).”
  • Values, self-efficacy, emotions, and attribution errors influence beliefs about control and expectancies for success, and can impact a student's ability to start, persist, or apply sufficient mental effort to complete and succeed at a task.

    “Each of the four factors in the framework-values, self-efficacy, emotions, and attribution errors-influences beliefs about control and expectancies for success, and can impact a student's ability to start, persist, or apply sufficient mental effort to complete and succeed at a task.”

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.
