Socratic method

edit
  • This tutorial uses the Socratic method to ask students open-ended questions about key concepts related to self-determination theory in relation to basic psychological needs and the taxonomy of extrinsic-intrinsic motivation

Needs

edit

There are three basic models or ways of organising needs:

  • 2-level: Physiological and psychological
  • 3-level: Existence, relatedness, and growth (Alderfer)
  • 5-level: Physiological, Safety, Belonging & love, Esteem, Self-actualisation (Maslow)

Basic psychological needs

edit

According to self-determination theory, the basic psychological needs are:

  • Autonomy
  • Competence - could alternatively be called Mastery (see Pink video in lecture)
  • Relatedness - could alternatively be called Purpose (see Pink video in lecture)

Topic development

edit
  • Remind about:
    • the timeline (guidelines page shows days and hours remaining) - this is Census Day for a reason; to check-in whether you are on-track to succeed in the unit or consider withdrawing
    • submit through UCLearn
    • can continue editing afterwards (most recent version before due date will be used for marking purposes)
  • Go over the checklist using an example chapter (pick one which has some development randomly from the list of topics and use this as a demo in terms of how well it satisfies the criteria and how it could improve if lacking)
