Maarten Vansteenkiste, professor at UGent Belgium and international expert on Self-Determination, visited TU/e on 11 March 2016 to talk about increasing students’ motivation. The interactive lecture was attended by some 50 participants, many of them lecturers.
Vansteenkiste provided practical tips in an interactive lecture and explained that interaction with students, the learning activities and assessments, and the choices given to students are very important. Jan Vleeshouwer, lecturer and study counsellor at electrical engineering, was inspired by the workshop: “What caught me most, was the fact that when I shape a course in a way that stimulates students’ intrinsic motivation, I stimulate my own motivation (as a teacher) just as well. So the next time I find myself busy with a tedious teaching chore, I have much more reason to change that”.

The document summarizes Professor Campbell's presentation on effortless change in students and faculty through education. Some key points:
1) Campbell argues that internal changes like shifts in attitude, thoughts and expectations are necessary precursors to external changes. By changing how we think, our circumstances can change effortlessly.
2) For students, developing self-discipline, time management and a positive self-image are important for success. Faculty must focus on imparting instruction, building interest through examples, and personalizing their classroom approach.
3) Both students and faculty experience transformations when they renew their minds and approaches to teaching/learning. Good teaching involves customizing one's approach to individual student needs through open communication and a supportive

Students’ experience of wellbeing and distress is interconnected with their learning and motivation. However, addressing wellbeing within curriculum can seem challenging in an online (or constantly changing) environment, or when we feel we don’t have time ourselves to explore the options, or we feel that we lack the expertise.
In this session, Lydia Woodyatt explored what we can do with five meaningful minutes online to support wellbeing based on the psychological needs of students. Lydia explored how small five-minute changes in teaching practice can sometimes make big impacts on student learning, wellbeing, and motivation.

5) Evaluate the effects of the intervention on behavior and desired outcomes.
6) Recycle through the steps as needed until objectives are achieved.
This document outlines a performance contract between a performer and performance manager. The contract aims to increase or decrease a specific behavior through establishing immediate and ultimate goals, as well as implementing an effective competing contingency and monitoring benefit measures over time through graphing. Revisions to the contract can be noted.
This document appears to be an assignment for a psychology course on behavior analysis. It includes sections for describing a target behavior, competing contingencies, a self-management intervention, graphs of the target behavior and benefit measures over baseline and intervention phases, and spaces for the student's results, comments, and any questions. The student is asked to fill in details about their particular applied behavior analysis project.
This document is a review form for a GDSD Workshow. It provides spaces for a name, TA initials, and sections to evaluate two presentations by providing feedback on the content, delivery, and areas for improvement for each.
This document appears to be a flow chart or process diagram for manufacturing and distributing sunglasses. It shows the stages of production, purchasing raw materials, manufacturing the sunglasses, and then distributing the finished products for sale and any unsold inventory. The document contains blanks for details but outlines the key stages in the sunglasses supply chain process.
The document provides an overview of goal-directed systems design (GDSD) for designing an ideal structure of organizational goals using a behavioral systems analytic approach. It discusses key concepts like defining organizations as systems with inputs, processes, and outputs. Several practice activities are included to help identify the input, process, and output components of different behavioral systems like hospitals, bookstores, and amusement parks.
1. The document discusses the need for a theoretical contingency to explain why an indirect-acting performance management (PM) contingency is effective in controlling behavior.
2. It provides an example of a waiter, Paul, who will receive a $5 bonus from his manager if his sales meet a 25% target for appetizers and drinks. This PM contingency is indirect-acting so a direct-acting theoretical contingency is needed.
3. The theoretical contingency examples show that it must be direct-acting, observable or inferred, and linked to the PM contingency, not the natural contingency, to properly explain why the indirect PM contingency controls behavior.
The document provides a series of prompts and questions about contingencies and the three-contingency model. It asks the reader to identify whether examples provided are natural or performance management contingencies. It provides feedback on the reader's responses, clarifying the correct answers and explanations.
This contingency aims to decrease Tony's aggressive behavior by withholding a reward. Specifically:
1) Previously, Tony would get a token within 30 minutes. Now, if Tony hits the nurse within 30 minutes, he will not get a token.
2) The nurse implemented this contingency to decrease Tony's aggressive behavior by making it less likely he will receive a reward (token) if he engages in the behavior.
3) This contingency is an "analog to punishment" contingency since the goal is to decrease behavior and it withholds a reward after a delay of over 60 seconds.
The document describes Julie's swimming ability and how it improves slightly with each hard practice. This is a natural contingency that existed prior to any performance management. However, the improvement in ability is infinitesimal, making the contingency ineffective. The contingency is natural but ineffective due to the small outcome size.
The Two-Factor Theory of Avoidance states that:
1) A warning stimulus becomes a learned aversive stimulus through pairing with the original aversive stimulus.
2) The avoidance response is reinforced by the termination of the warning stimulus, not by avoiding the original aversive stimulus.
3) People are avoiding the stimulus associated with the aversive situation, not the aversive situation itself.
1. This document contains a series of questions to test different types of contingencies used in performance management.
2. The questions assess whether a contingency is effective at controlling behavior, planned to manage performance, and analogs to avoidance or punishment.
3. Additional criteria examined include whether responses are the same across contingencies, if outcomes are delayed or probabilities specified, and if theoretical contingencies are direct-acting or inferred.
The 3-Contingency Model of Performance Management Checklist provides criteria for evaluating applications of the 3-contingency model. It contains tests to determine if:
1) The response is the same in all three contingencies.
2) The change in outcome size and probability is large enough to control behavior for the performance management and theoretical contingencies.
3) The theoretical contingency is only used when the performance management contingency is indirect-acting.
The document appears to be a collection of transparency slides related to behavior analysis concepts. The slides cover topics like differential reinforcement, reinforcement and punishment, discrimination training, escape and avoidance conditioning, and performance management models. Many of the slides include diagrams or tables illustrating behavioral principles and terminology.
The document outlines several tests to determine if a behavior meets the criteria of operant conditioning: the Deadman Test checks if a behavior requires a living organism, the Causality Test evaluates if a response causes an outcome, and the 60” Test examines if responses and outcomes occur within 60 seconds of each other.
This document contains four review quizzes summarizing key terms from an Elementary Principles of Behavior textbook. The quizzes cover 20 terms each from various chapters, relating to concepts like reinforcement, punishment, schedules of reinforcement, conditioning, rule-governed behavior, and research methodology. In total, 80 terms are defined over the four quizzes to help students prepare for an exam on the material.
This document provides a checklist to help analyze and summarize contingency diagrams. It includes 10 questions to test key elements of the contingency, such as specifying the behavior, stimuli, and outcomes. The questions help determine if the diagram properly depicts a reinforcement, punishment, or prevention contingency. Completing the checklist ensures the contingency diagram accurately portrays the relationship between a response and its consequences.
This document provides a checklist for evaluating applications of the output-process-input model and goal specification form. The checklist outlines key elements to define like outputs, inputs, goals, processes, resources and standards. It also provides rules for outlining systems using this model, focusing on defining the final output, identifying input resources and labeling production, distribution and research processes.
1. The document contains a review quiz for concepts in positive behavior analysis with 14 multiple choice questions.
2. It covers topics like reinforcement, behavior, extinction, punishment, shaping, and motivating operations.
3. The questions are meant to test understanding of key principles and procedures used in behavior analysis.

So that’s what I’m trying to do with this book,

Active Reading
One of the goals of this book is to help you
get better at active reading. With active reading,
you can get the most out of what you read: you get
the most out of a book or article by writing all over

If you don’t have room in the margin for your note, put a little number
beside the relevant line; and write your foot note at the bottom, or a head
note at top of the page, or an end note at the back of the chapter, wherever
there’s space. No space? No problem, use a sticky note or keep a separate
notebook for your notes and write a number beside each note and at each
point in the book to where your notes are relevant.

changing unhealthy and undesired behaviors, the
author made it clear why such behaviors are
unhealthy by incorporating proven facts and
statistics about each of the unhealthy behaviors
discussed. These facts not only serve as an eye
opener to newfound knowledge but also as a bit of
motivational incentive. For example, after reading
that “no one should have tooth decay, yet 25,000,000
living Americans have lost their teeth. We should all
have all of our teeth when we die, but few Americans
do,” I started my PM project on flossing that day.
What I found especially nice about this part
of the book is that the author recognizes that these
facts may tend to distract or otherwise bore some
readers, since it does stray from the main topic of
PM. Therefore, Malott uses gray highlight on most of
the informative facts and lets the reader know in the
preface what these highlighted sections are, and that
it is perfectly O.K. to skip them. Personally however,
I enjoyed the facts and statistics a lot and acquired
much knowledge from them. So I would suggest that
readers skim through them at least—I guarantee all
readers will be intrigued.
