Why do students think they’re not responsible?
The educational environment
What are their beliefs about education?
– What did they learn in the primary and secondary system?
– What do we communicate and model in the classroom?
– What does the emphasis on evaluation in most education lead them to think about what is important?

• Their beliefs about learning?

Expectancy and Value*
Students are more motivated when:They think they can be successful
at the task.They value the task or its outcome.
This relationship is multiplicative.
*Eccles and Wigfield
