  3. Oh, Behave...                      Definition of Behaviorism       All things that organisms do - including acting,        thinking, and feeling, are regarded as behaviors.       To change behaviors, the environment is        modified or behavioral patterns are changed.  

  4. Behaviorism:  The Basics! B.F. Skinner & Operant Conditioning Ivan Pavlov & Classical Conditioning http://pupwellness.blogspot.com/

  5.  Behavioral:  Reward, Incentive •  Humanistic:  Inborn Need, Inner Resources •  Cognitive:  Thinking, Interpretation •  Sociocultural:  Identity, Interpersonal •     One of these four theories is extrinsic.   • Can you tell me which one? Four Motivational Theories

  6. Extrinsic motivation • comes from outside of • the individual. •  Examples: • Rewards like money, grades, or trophies • Coercion • Threat of punishment • Competition • The Office: Schrutebucks • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BOe9nSJXEDc • The Office: Michael = “Boss” • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lG54HSGuidQ&feature=related Extrinsic Motivation

  7. Intrinsic motivation refers to motivation that is driven by an interest or enjoyment in the task itself, existing within the individual rather than relying on any external pressure. • Examples:   • Can attribute results to factors under their own control (e.g., the effort expended)   • Believe they can be effective agents in reaching desired goals (i.e. the results are not determined by luck) • Interested in mastering a topic, rather than just rote-learning to achieve good grades. • Forrest Gump: I just like running.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gimcdV-8FzY • The Office: The most inspiring thing ever said...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVVsDIv98TA Intrinsic Motivation

  12. Let’s Talk… Knowing what we now know about intrinsic and extrinsic motivation, which do you think is most common in schools? Why? Which type of motivation do you think is most effective for student learning or behavior change? Why? If we acknowledge that intrinsic motivation is most effective in terms of learning or behavior change, how do we as educators inspire intrinsic motivation development in our students?

  13. What does this mean to me? Teachers Choice Connecting content to students' lives Competence  Creativity cartoonbabykids.blogspot.com

  14. What does this mean to me? Administrators School Climate Discipline/Reward system within the school Professional development opportunities

  15. What does this mean to me? Students Ownership Relevance   Self-efficacy Basic needs being met 

  16. Counselors • Help students figure out what motivates them • Goal setting • Support motivating school climate • Thinking and acting for behavior change What does this mean to me?

  17. Tools I can use… Motivational Interviewing Help students identify behaviors that they are interested in changing  And help them figure out how to do that Solution-Focused Counseling   Figure out what works for the student and see if she or he can transfer that solution to a current problem What motivates the student to avoid the problem under different circumstances    Responsible Behavior Choice Teaching students socially responsible behavior to satisfy needs

  18. Sum it up! • Behaviorism holds that all actions have a reason. • Intrinsic motivation comes from within.  Extrinsic motivation comes from without.  • Tapping into intrinsic motivation leads to more effective teaching.  • Counselors can use this information to enable teachers and administrators to more effectively work with students and enable students enjoy the learning process. 

  19. Activity • Role Play or Discussion • Groups of 2, please!
