Topic:
“My husband experience for learning how to cookâ€
This topic should be written in formal way within classroom teaching experience with my students around any education topics but since I’m not teaching right now the lecturer asked me to write it in informal way so I chose my husband as an example to write about my inquiry because he was not having any idea about cooking but he improved recently and he learned much about cooking. So I want you to write this assignment to show the shift that happened to my husband as a learner and how my interventions using motivation theories helped him. You can write anything related to this idea and you can put some quotations of my husband’s sayings like conversations between me and him about cooking and some of his questions about cooking because these are the evidences that I supposed to insert in this inquiry. Also you have to go back to the literature reviews using motivation theories like self-efficacy, casual attribution, Intrinsic and extrinsic motivation and many other theories in the reference file that I’ve attached. The most important thing is talking about the mechanism that I’ve stated above in the reference of Aitken, G., & Sinnema, C (2008). Check the inquiry examples to learn more about these four mechanisms. Lastly look at marking criteria to double check that you covered up all required points.
Task:
Your written report needs to respond to the following questions:
1_What was the overall learning and/or motivation need for your learners? What evidence did you collect to lead you to this decision? (Focusing inquiry) [700-800 words]
