One theoretical framework I am interested in including in my applied research project is motivational theory.\u00a0Key theoretical concepts of motivational theory examine the individual\u2019s beliefs and contextual factors that influence their motivation or impetus to learn (Park, 2018). Researchers have studied motivation from various perspectives, and I am interested in motivational theory because of the many ways that researchers interpret motivational theory within their research context.\u00a0The Keller\u2019s Arcs model of motivational theory includes the four categories: attention, relevance, confidence, and satisfaction. The first category states that the learner\u2019s attention is required before any learning can take place.\u00a0\u00a0Another common motivational theory called self-determination theory explores the two orientations of motivation: intrinsic and extrinsic motivation (Park, 2018).\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One topic I am interested in is how motivational theory relates to engagement theory. Engagement theory postulates that students that are engaged in learning have more success in learning (Kearsley et al, 1998). I view engagement theory and motivational theory as closely related, and the question I have is how to apply one or the other within a research context. Engagement is a key factor in both intrinsic and extrinsic motivation, and since most learning activities are not intrinsically interesting to students (Park, 2018), I view engagement as a strong component of learning. Engagement is also incredibly similar to attention, a pillar of the Keller\u2019s Arcs model. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
