Proseminar: 1000 Reasons (not) to learn (OCW)

About this Content OER

This seminar from the field of educational science (teaching and learning research) from WiSe 17/18 provided an accessible introduction to the theories of motivation and interest research. This provided a basis for important decisions that teachers, among others, have to make on a daily basis: How can learning succeed? How do you recognize individual interests and how do you raise situational interest? Together, the theoretical foundations were discussed in the seminar, empirical studies were reviewed and concrete options for action were developed. The main question was: How can motivation be distinguished from interest?

  • Part of the seminar was to create a tutorial video for exam preparation.
  • Presentation and practical instructions for video creation are available in the course as a PDF file.
  • In this course, a video from a group of participants will be presented as an example.
