Abstract
D.Ed.
The aim of this investigation is to edit, prune or graft
an existing motivation measurement scale proposed by
Kieck (1993:121a), in order to make it more accurate, less
subjective and more user-friendly. This process should
therefore make it more accessible for students at training
institutions and teachers in 'in-service 'training
programmes. The aspects being addressed include :
those classroom activities (whether personal,
behavioural or environmental) that influence a pupil's
motivation. ;
using the categorized elements together with additional
psychological principles as foundations defined in this
study to develop a template for a motivation
measurement model for the classroom situation (micro
teaching). ;
developing a scale with a different arrangement or
format in order to measure the aspects identified,
analysed and categorized above. ;
testing the new proposed scale statistically in
order to see whether it is possible to incorporate it
in secondary or tertiary institution educational
training programmes, in order to ' educate ' the
teacher in the classroom to motivate his pupils.
