In dit onderzoek is gekeken in hoeverre autonomie, leeftijd en sekse de intrinsieke motivatie voor rekenen van leerlingen tussen negen en twaalf jaar beïnvloeden. Om dit te onderzoeken is een vragenlijst afgenomen bij 41 leerlingen uit groep 6, 7 en 8 van twee Leidse basisscholen. Uit de resultaten is gebleken dat de hoeveelheid ervaren autonomie samenhangt met de intrinsieke motivatie die een leerling heeft. Er is een mogelijkheid dat de puberteit een rol speelt in wat een leerling van zijn omgeving nodig heeft om intrinsiek gemotiveerd te zijn, om dit te bevestigen is vervolgonderzoek nodig.Show less

Still, there are no clear guidelines teachers can use to contribute to the intrinsic motivation of their students. The goal of this literature review was to provide concrete guidelines that teachers can use to contribute to the intrinsic motivation of their primary school students. This was done firstly by identifying concrete actions that teachers can use to contribute to the intrinsic motivation of their students, according to the selfdetermination theory. Secondly literature research focused on how big the effect sizes matching with these concrete actions were. A systematic search yielded five studies that were eligible. However there were studies included in the study that had a different student population than primary school students, which were highschool- and university students. The results indicated that there were no huge differences in the outcomes of the studies with different student populations. Results of the concrete actions teachers can use to contribute to their students' intrinsic motivation can be categorised by the basic needs of the selfdetermination theory. When it comes to autonomy, this research indicates that teachers should give their students valuable choices during their learning process. The bond or relationship can be improved by showing affection, respect and by being understanding. The research also indicates that teachers should try to match teaching with the personal interest of the students. When it comes to competence, research indicates that teachers should offer activities to their students that match their current competence. Communication, expectations and positive feedback are also key, when it comes to competence, according to the literature research.Show less

In this research the learning conditions, the social well-being and the intrinsic motivation are central. 56 gifted students from grades 4, 5, and 6 (age 8-12) in primary education have been tested. The students have filled out two questionnaires. One questionnaire was made for this research and focuses on the learning needs of gifted students. The other is a standardized questionnaire, and called in Dutch, de Competentie Belevingsschaal voor Kinderen (CBSK). In addition, an interview has been done about the learning needs of gifted students. The results show no significant differences among gifted students from grade 4 and 6 (age 8-12) as far as social well-being and intrinsic motivation are concerned. Besides, no significant differences were found with regard to the social well-being and the intrinsic motivation and visiting the ‘plusklas’. A regression analysis was used to test if there was a connection between the CBSK and the intrinsic motivation. Nothing significant was found. A regression correlation did show a connection between the CBSK and the social well-being. Additional research could focus on the social well-being and the (intrinsic) motivation of the gifted pupil in relation to the teacher and a way of deepening the teaching material. The latter one could be offered by taking an empiric cycles and by teaching an exploring attitude with gifted students in order to develop their talent as much as possible and being intrinsic motivated.Show less

De modeling bestond uit een korte film waarin peers samenwerkend leren demonstreren en vertellen wat het inhoudt. Een groep van 143 havo/vwo brugklasleerlingen deed mee met het onderzoek, waarvan 75 leerlingen de peer-modeling film te zien kreeg. De overige leerlingen keken een andere film. De resultaten van de experimentele conditie zijn vergeleken met de controlegroep. De leerlingen hebben voor en na het zien van de film een vragenlijst ingevuld over hun intrinsieke motivatie, competentiebeleving en nuttigheidsconcepties van samenwerkend leren. Vervolgens werkten zij in viertallen aan een jigsaw samenwerkingstaak. Uit de resultaten blijkt dat peer-modeling een klein positief effect heeft op nuttigheidsconcepties. Voor intrinsieke motivatie en competentiebeleving zijn geen effecten gevonden.Show less
