Research shows that how we VALUE the outcome of a task and our
EXPECTATIONS for success determine our MOTIVATION. In this
journal, you will reflect on the times you were most and least
motivated by considering VALUE, EXPECTATIONS and
MOTIVATION related to each situation. Read and respond to each
question in each scenario completely.
(Scenario 1) Think of a time (i.e. project, class, job, etc.) when you
were very motivated for success. Dive deep and describe this
experience and the outcome in detail. How important was the
outcome or experience to you? Think about your skills, abilities,
knowledge, etc. and how challenging and demanding the task was.
Before you started the task what were your expectations for success
and was the effort required to achieve it reasonable for you?
(Scenario 2) Now think of a time when your motivation was very
LOW. Dive deep and describe this project or experience and the
outcome in detail. How important was the outcome or experience to
you and how did you feel about it? Think about your skills, abilities,
knowledge, etc. and how challenging and demanding the task was.
Before you started the task what were your expectations for success
and was the effort required to achieve it reasonable for you?
(Scenario 3) Think about the current semester. How would you
describe you current level of motivation? Dive deep and describe the
projects or courses you have to complete. How important is the
