THIS WEEK’S SHOW: TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 24, 2009 at 7:00 pm
SELF-DETERMINATION THEORY
In this show, we discuss an important theory of motivation known as Self-determination theory. According to self-determination theory, human flourishing depends upon satisfying three fundamental needs: the need for autonomy, for competence, and for relatedness. Central to this theory’s definition of “autonomy” is the notion of an intrinsically motivating activity -- an activity done for its own sake rather than for the sake of external rewards like money, grades or ‘status’. Joining us will be special guest, Dr. Chantal Levesque-Bristol, associate professor of psychology who specializes in self-determination theory. Dr. Bristol also is the Director of the Faculty Center for Teaching & Learning at Missouri State University. Our objective in this show is to introduce the listener to self-determination theory as well as reveal its ancient roots in the philosophy of Aristotle.
