5 Theories About Motivation: Why We Do What We DoChelsea O'Brien
Motivation is the force that initiates, guides, and maintains goal-oriented behaviors. It is what causes us to take action, whether to grab a snack to reduce hunger or enroll in college to earn a degree. The forces that lie beneath motivation can be biological, social, emotional, or cognitive in nature. In this presentation, we cover what motivation is as well as 5 theories of motivation.
While no single theory can adequately explain all human motivation, looking at the individual theories can offer a greater understanding of the forces that cause us to take action. In reality, there are likely many different forces that interact to motivate behavior.

Motivation refers to an internal state or condition that activates behavior and gives it direction.
Emotion is a state involving pattern of facial and bodily changes, cognitive appraisals, subjective feelings, and tendencies toward action.
Emotions are positive or negative feelings generally in reaction to stimuli that are accompanied by physical, psychological arousal and related behavior.
Emotions give life its feeling and meaning. They enrich life. Without emotions, things would be quite a routine and dull.

The map views are useful for providing a geographical representation of data. They allow users to visualize and analyze the data in a more intuitive manner.
We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.
This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

3. Instinct Theory of Motivation
This theory founded in the late 1800s states that
patterns of behavior are genetically inherited, and
humans are motivated by the need to survive.
Because this motivation is genetically ingrained in
us, every human being (and living thing) shares this
same motivation for every action.
Animals (including humans) are
automatically born with knowledge
about how to survive, and that drives
their actions.
4. Instinct Theory of Motivation
This theory founded in the late 1800s states that
patterns of behavior are genetically inherited, and
humans are motivated by the need to survive.
Because this motivation is genetically ingrained in
us, every human being (and living thing) shares this
same motivation for every action.
Salmon swim upstream each year to
lay eggs.They don’t get motivated to
do this by watching other fish - they
are born with the motivation and the
knowledge needed to do this.
5. Instinct Theory of Motivation
Problem: Every salmon behaves
exactly the same, so it’s easy to use
the instinct theory to explain the
motivation of salmon; however,
there is variation in the ways
humans behave. If humans all decide
to do different things, it means they
must have different motivations.
Instinct theory can’t explain the
massive variety of human behaviors,
and it can’t explain when humans
act in ways that actually make
survival less likely.
6. Drive-Reduction Theory
This was the second major theory of motivation
developed in the 1930s. It states that everyone is striving
to reduce drives (this means that they try to reach a state
of internal stability, avoiding feelings of discomfort or
tension). If humans feel tension, they act in ways that help
remove the tension.
Feel hungry? That’s tension. ▶ You are motivated to eat food.
Feel cold? That’s tension. ▶ You are motivated to go inside.
Feel nervous? That’s tension. ▶ You are motivated to avoid the
thing that is making you nervous.
7. Drive-Reduction Theory
Problem: humans do things all the time that actually
increase tension and prevent stability. We eat when we’re
not hungry. We explore new places even though it makes
us feel nervous and uncomfortable. Clearly, drive-reduction
theory doesn’t explain all motivation.
8. Arousal Theory
This theory was based on drive-reduction theory, but instead
of trying to reduce tension, people are trying to reach a
balance between extremes (we want an optimal amount of
stimulation or arousal). For example, if we feel too lonely we
might go to a party with friends, but if we feel overstimulated
we then want to go home and watch TV alone.
Not Enough Optimal Balance! Too Much
Starving Full Bloated
Bored Some Excitement Constant Excitement
Lonely Some friend time Always with friends
9. Arousal Theory
People have slightly different optimal levels of arousal.
For some people, optimal level of excitement might be
going for a bike ride; for others, it might be a roller-coaster.
I’m bored
I’m bored
I am
motivated
to seek
stimulation!
This is the
amount of
stimulation I
need!
10. Arousal Theory
Remember, in Arousal theory, if we feel overstimulated
(anxious, afraid, overwhelmed, uncomfortable) - we are
motivated by the need to lower the level of stimulation.
Too much
stimulation!
I feel
uncomfortable
I am
motivated
to seek
relaxation
I am
motivated
to seek
relaxation
Too much
stimulation!
I feel
uncomfortable
11. Arousal Theory
We don’t want zero stress and we don’t want a stress overload -
because optimal human performance happens when we
experience a little bit of stress.
12. Arousal Theory
Problem: Arousal Theory
does a great job of
explaining why humans seek
out pleasurable activities, but
it’s hard to apply Arousal
Theory neatly to everything.
For example, how can I use
Arousal Theory to explain
my desire to sacrifice sleep
in order to have more work
time, willingly putting myself
under extreme stress?
13. Conclusion
Theories and models used to explain human
motivation aren’t very good: motivation is complex,
and maybe we can’t simplify it into a model.
Although Maslow’s Hierarchy has its problems, it
does a more thorough job of covering the massive
variety of things that motivate people than
previous models.
