Kwei Wang, S. & Han, S. (2001). Six C’s of Motivation. In M. Orey (Ed.), Emerging perspectives on learning, teaching, and technology.
After scrolling through a fellow friends blog i noticed a rather ‘controversial’ posting. The post was a critique regarding Kwei Wang & Han’s (2001). Six C’s of Motivation article. The only reason it would be deemed controversial was because Eliza wrote negative comments on the article. I haven’t come across 1 blog-site which does not recommend the article which they had reviewed. So i reckon that was a super brilliant idea of Eliza’s. So much so i decided to read that particular article purely to see were eliza was coming from and why she believed all the information was common knowledge for teachers.
The article was exactly how Eliza portrayed it. Teaching strategies of cchoice, challenges, control, collaboration, constructing meaning, and consequences are unfortunatly not novel ideas. Just because they all start with a C doesn’t mean they are ‘creative’. The Ms. Betty scenario certainly wasn’t ‘cool’ either as it was fairly unrealistic. For example, i dont think tenth grade students would be too enthusiastic to present their newspaper project at school book fair…
