motivatsioonipõhiseid

Motivatsioonipõhised is a term used in Estonian to describe approaches, interventions or methods that are based on understanding and leveraging what motivates individuals. The phrase is formed from motivatsioon (motivation) and põhised (based on), and is typically used as an adjectival modifier for nouns such as meetodid, programmid or lähenemised. In practical use, motivatsioonipõhiseid describes strategies designed to engage people by appealing to their interests, values and goals rather than relying solely on external rules or pressures.

The concept appears across fields such as education, work life, health promotion and public policy. In education, motivatsioonipõhised lähenemised aim to connect learning tasks to students’ interests, provide meaningful choices and support autonomy. In organizational settings, they inform job design, feedback systems and performance management to foster a sense of purpose and competence. In health and behavior change, programs align behaviors with personal goals and values to improve adherence and long-term maintenance. In policy design, incentives and communication are crafted to resonate with target populations’ motivations.

Key principles include supporting intrinsic motivation, offering autonomy and meaningful choices, providing appropriate feedback, and aligning activities with the learner’s or participant’s values and goals. While motivatsioonipõhised approaches can enhance engagement and sustainability, they require careful implementation to avoid manipulation or over-reliance on extrinsic rewards. Related concepts include intrinsic motivation, self-determination theory and human-centered design.
