Variables affecting students' intrinsic motivation for school mathematics: Two empirical studies based on Deci and Ryan's theory on motivation

Determinants of competence development in accounting in upper secondary education

“…Research Although this relation has already been established in other domains (e.g., Grolnick and Ryan 1987;Jang et al 2012;Um et al 2005;Valås and Søvik 1993;Vansteenkiste et al 2005), we found only one publication in accounting: Winther (2006, p. 212) showed that teacher support of basic psychological needs (such as the need for autonomy) strongly predicts intrinsic motivation, but is not related to school grades. However, factors indicative of the motivational state, such as the willingness to make an effort, do predict grades.…”

Instructional Quality and Attitudes toward Mathematics: Do Self-Concept and Interest Differ across Students' Patterns of Perceived Instructional Quality in Mathematics Classrooms?

“…An efficient classroom management characterized by high structuredness and clarity of instruction is a salient predictor of students' interest in mathematics classes [16]. Theoretically, research related to self-determination theory [26] revealed that effective classroom management enhances students' experience of intrinsic need satisfaction and thus facilitates students' interest [28,30,39].…”

“…Thus, a high level of instructional quality of learning environments is seen as a prerequisite to enhanced learning outcomes depending on students' subjective perceptions, preknowledge, and internal structures of cognitive processing [24,25]. Based on related theoretical frameworks such as self-determination theory (SDT; [26]), research concerning relations between learning environments and students' motivation often focuses on students' individual perceptions of their learning environment [13,27,28]. SDT suggests that learning conditions that lead to the fulfillment of students' basic psychological needs for autonomy, competence, and social relatedness facilitate students' intrinsic motivation.…”

Mathematics Anxiety, Motivation and The Basic Psychological Needs from the Perspective of Self-Determination Theory

“…Ayrıca motivasyonel düzenlemeler ile esenlik hali (Eryılmaz, 2010) arasındaki ilişkilere odaklanan çalışmalar da bulunmaktadır. Konu matematik eğitimi açısından değerlendirildiğinde yapılan çalışmalar sınırlıdır (Durmaz, 2012;Durmaz ve Akkuş, 2010;Valas ve Sovik, 1994) ve bu alanla ilgili araştırmalara ihtiyaç duyulmaktadır.…”
