Educational Psychology Case Application

Instructions

Based on what you know about learning theory, principles, and concepts; theories of motivation and concepts; the concept of optimal challenge; and ethical principles relevant to education, combine the facts and information from the case study you have chosen with theory and research to help you complete the following:

Questions to ask yourself as you review the case scenario:

  • What are the concerns that the learner is experiencing?
  • Who would be able to provide information about the learner?
  • What learning theories might help in understanding what is happening with the learner?
  • Is this learner more intrinsically or extrinsically motivated for the learning task?
  • How can intrinsic motivation be encouraged?

To successfully complete this project, you will be expected to:

  1. Discuss how the theory is or theories are relevant for the case.
  2. Identify and read two scholarly research articles that are relevant, that will help in understanding the case, and that will support the theory or theories you have chosen.
  3. Describe motivational factors in the case.
  4. Make research-based recommendations to encourage motivation and promote success for the particular learner in the case scenario you selected.

In elementary school, he repeated both the first and third grade because he could not master the academic work. Tyler continues to struggle in school but manages to pass with low grades. Because he frequently misses school, he is now on school probation. If he misses two more days this year he will be expelled for the remainder of the school year.

    When Tyler does come to school, he makes it to most of his classes but he has been caught outside the building or in the bathroom smoking a cigarette. His teachers say that during class he often puts his head down and sleeps or stares out the window. He turns in very little work and typically does poorly on what he does submit. Tyler is currently failing all of his classes except math and physical education. He has a D+ in math and a B in physical education, which is the only class at school he seems to enjoy.

    When asked by his teachers and principal why he will not engage in the classroom, he says that school is a waste of time and school has nothing to do with his future. Tyler plans to work on cars until he turns 18, and then he plans to hitchhike to Arizona to live with an older brother who has a small mechanic shop. His mom and stepdad have given up on him. During a recent phone call, Tyler’s mother expressed her frustration and told the principal that she was too tired to deal with Tyler. She said that Tyler’s education was the school’s problem. Several months ago, in a conversation with Mr. Highland, the physical education teacher, Tyler confided that he was never good at school and said that he was just too stupid to learn so why bother trying. Mr. Highland and his other teachers are wondering if there is anything that can be done to help Tyler stay in school.
