My Future Career As A Specialist Instructor / Teacher

Motivation is a key driving force in most human beings and lies hidden to be discovered

In Conclusion, motivation theories formed the cornerstone of adult learning. Indeed, technology is here to stay and it has become part of the education environment. Technology provides a surrounding where formerly

In the book Drive by Daniel H Pink he talks about various things that could come in handy. Pink talks about how people should change to Motivation 3.0 and leave behind Motivation 2.0.Motivation 3.0 is for someone to continue with their life and have a better future with doing things that you love and would want to do for your rest of your life. Which Motivation also talks about Type X behavior which leads to three types of behavior autonomy mastery and purpose, this explains how people use them to become someone better in their life and show us how that involves with Motivation 3.0. This is something I keep in consideration, that’s why I consider myself in having a Type I behavior that can lead as well with Motivation 3.0.

In Drive by Daniel H. Pink he explains that motivation 3.0 is energy that is intrinsic. We as human being have a purpose in life and we need motivation to push and strive to find our purpose. The key to motivation is autonomy, its the freedom to do a task when, where, and however you like. i agree that autonomy is important because to work in a place where something is done the same over and over is really boring there no changes and theres no fun. To be in a work place that allows freedom give you the chance to explore and be creative, allows you to have more fun so you don't hate the task and not be motivated to complete it.

Our ability to prosper and be content is totally needy upon our own characters, how we arrange ourselves to ourselves, to others, and to occasions by and large (Dobbin, 2008). What qualities our characters come to have is totally up to us. Subsequently, how well we prosper is likewise altogether up to us. In addition, he says that we can only achieve this by identifying those things that are within our power as well as those that are not within our power. What is in our power, then, is the 'power over ourselves' that we have with respect to our ability to judge what is great and what is abhorrent. Outside our energy are 'external things', which are "detached" as for being great or malicious. These indifferents, number those things that are expectedly regarded to be great and those that are traditionally esteemed to be awful. Generally, they are things that 'simply happen', and they are not in our energy as in we don't have outright control to make them happen pretty much as we wish, or to make them have precisely the results that we fancy (Dobbin, 2008). We an therefore only achieve happiness by adjusting our attitude towards life. Learning to love what we get even when it's not what we wanted in the first place helps us prevent frustration in

The work of Harlow and Deci, however, brought a different perspective to the table. The idea that people can be motivated internally by things that cannot be seen or touched was a startling new concept. Intrinsic motivation, or Motivation 3.0 as Pink calls it, was officially born. Motivation 3.0 suggests that “I want to do something” because the sheer act of doing so is personally satisfying and deeply meaningful on a much grander scale. Intrinsic motivation, as the name implies, comes from within an

“We are all faced throughout our lives with agonizing decisions, moral choices. Some are on a grand scale. Most of these choices are on a lesser scale. But we define ourselves by the choices we have made. We are in fact the sum total of our choices. Events unfold so unpredictably, so unfairly. Human happiness does not seem to have been included in the design of creation. It is only we with our capacity to love that give meaning to the indifferent universe. And yet most human beings seem to have the ability to keep trying, and even to find joy from simple things, like their, work and from the hope that future generations might understand more.”

The passage gives the analogy of carrying a spoon of oil around a castle. If we are tasked with not allowing any oil to drop from the spoon, we may become too focused and find ourselves ignoring the beauty and wonders surrounding the castle. However, when we become to focused on he wonders around the castle, we drop the oil from the spoon, defeating the purpose of carrying the spoon. We can apply this teaching to the world when we focus on our life goals. If we try to fulfill our desires while we appreciate what the world has too offer, we will feel joy and happiness. When we become infatuated with our goals and desires we tend to push aside wonders and reasons to be happy that the world has already given us, and vice versa. When we push aside the world’s wonder we may become discouraged when achieving our goals, because it may take too long to find happiness. Little reasons to be happy may encourage us to persist our pursuit to achieve goals and discover true happiness

Motivation is the number one driving force behind anything and everything an individual does each day. “Motivation is the desire to do the best possible job or to exert the maximum effort to perform an assigned task. Motivation energizes, directs, and sustains human behavior directed towards a goal.” (Honor, 2009). Motivation can determine the outcome of projects, goals, and can set limits on what an individual can obtain or what they believe they can obtain. Motivation often is the deciding factor on how successful a project in an organization is, and an individual’s needs and desires can both influence a person’s motivation greatly. Motivation can also determine how well an individual does in school, college, or university.

With reflection of my own life, I think what Albert’s saying is to obtain success, one must first love what they do. Loving one’s career and happiness go hand in hand. If one does not love what they do, then how can an individual possibly be happy? People today have careers and jobs because of the high pay, not because they feel it’s their purpose.

Ideally, when I graduate, I would like to enter the credential program at Cal Poly Pomona. As an English Education major, I feel like this is the next logical step for me as I seek to move forward on my path of becoming a teacher. The opportunities that await me in the credential program truly excite me because I have always found my studies of English Education to be very rewarding and purposeful. I have found this to be especially true now because I am currently in the process of conducting observation hours at local high schools in Pomona as part of my English Education curriculum. When I am in the classroom, I immediately feel a sense of joy, purpose, and productivity. Outside of the classroom, I do have experience teaching as a leader for a club on campus; I am a Woman’s Bible Study Leader for Cal Poly Cru and I have found this experience of teaching college students to be the most exciting, challenging, and rewarding experience I have ever had the pleasure of being a part of. It can become overwhelming as doubts and deadlines tend to sneak in on me from time to time, but I know that being a teacher is worth every ounce of pressure because of the positive impact that a teacher has the ability to make on a student. There is an incredible statistic that states that “On average a teacher affects 3,000 children over the course of their career” (Bickley). This opportunity stirs my heart like nothing else because when I was in high school, I had an incredible teacher named

He argues that it is man’s responsibility to use this freedom to search for knowledge and enlightenment in order to get higher. It sounds as if he was saying God would be happier to see man reach perfection and would even admire man for being the creature who works on the creation of God the architect, and bring about changes.

'Motivation is a process that influences the direction, persistence and vigour of goal-directed behaviour. Psychology 's diverse theoretical perspectives views motivation through different lenses. (Passer, Smith, Holt, Bremner, Sutherland, Vliek., 2009, p.475). The psychological motivational theory that I

Motivation can be defined as the desire or inspiration to carry out specific tasks or to do something. Motivation is required when goals are being set and more so in their execution. In a work setting, motivation can be defined as a process through which individuals choose between alternative forms of behavior with the aim of achieving personal objectives. The goals sought by individuals can be extrinsic or relatively tangible such as monetary rewards and promotion, or intrinsic or intangible such as self esteem or job satisfaction (Armstrong, 2006). In learning, the desire to attain good grades is what motivates a student to study hard everyday as they prepare for the exam. On the other hand, for a teacher to put his best foot forward, he

A theory that supports motivation is the self determination theory. In the self determination theory people need to grow and gain fulfillment by a drive in them. Self Determination is the process of deciding how to act on ones environment. When one is trying to overcome a challenge or encountering a new experience a person wants to gain the knowledge to succeed over the new challenge. When self determination theory is in focus internal factors are at play; a person is primarily focused on the need to gain knowledge or independence. There are three factors that contribute to a student’s self determination and the needs are linked to the student’s
