motivaatiopedagogiaa

Motivaatiopedagogiaa, or motivational pedagogy, is an educational approach that focuses on fostering and sustaining learners' intrinsic motivation. It recognizes that motivation is a key factor in learning and aims to create environments and employ strategies that make learning engaging, relevant, and personally meaningful.

The core principles of motivaatiopedagogiaa often include promoting autonomy, competence, and relatedness. Autonomy refers to giving learners a sense of control over their learning, allowing them to make choices and pursue their interests. Competence involves supporting learners in developing their skills and experiencing a sense of mastery and effectiveness. Relatedness emphasizes building positive relationships between learners and with educators, fostering a sense of belonging and community.

Strategies employed in motivational pedagogy can vary but commonly include using authentic tasks, providing constructive feedback, fostering collaboration, encouraging self-reflection, and making learning experiences enjoyable. The goal is to shift the focus from external rewards or pressures to the inherent satisfaction and interest that learning can provide. This approach aims to cultivate lifelong learners who are self-directed and passionate about acquiring knowledge and skills.
