  2. It’s not that people can’t learn, it’s just that they don’t want to learn.

  3. Games and Motivation • Games and intrinsic motivation • intrinsic (internal causes) • extrinsic (external causes) • intrinsic motivation is more effective than extrinsic. • Games, by definition and design, rely on intrinsic, not extrinsic motivation. Psychologically it places the learner at the center of the action and progress depends on intrinsic drivers.

  4. Games and Motivation • Games and autonomy • compulsory • Voluntary • Learners must feel that they are choosing to learn, even if that choice is illusory • The advantage of games is that it is mostly a voluntary choice. Personal control and autonomy accelerate learning

  6. Games and Motivation • Games and goals • motivation comes from the anticipation of the outcomes of an action and the value you place on those outcomes. • Goals give direction and incentives to persist until those goals are reached. • Games, of course, are packed with goals, strategic and tactical.

  7. Games and Motivation • Games and challenge • Success in overcoming challenges increases one’s sense of achievement and self-esteem or self-belief. • Games and feedback • You need to know how well you are doing as you move towards your goal. • the learner needs to have control of their learning through open structures, combined with highly participatory content and formative feedback. • Games and social incentives • Social approval or disapproval by people who matter to you also matters in motivation
