About this episode
This episode discusses Self-Determination Theory and its application in education to enhance student well-being and motivation.
Professor Richard Ryan and Professor Edward Deci started to research and began to develop what is called "Self-Determination Theory" in the 1970s. It is a general theory with its base in the need of three identified Basic Psychological Needs; Competence, Relatedness and Autonomy. In schools today we are working with challenges with our students' well-being and also with motivation. In this episode you will learn more about Self-Determination Theory and how it may help us working in Education more effectively manage some of our most important challenges. Listen to professor Ryan, reflect, talk to each other. We believe that we can learn from professor Ryan and Self-Determination Theory, and find a good way to combine it with the Science of Learning included in our school practice.
