Autonomy, competence, and relatedness in the classroom: Applying self-determination theory to educational practice

Niemiec & Ryan

2009

A foundation text for understanding the application of self-determination theory in educational practice. Evidence suggests that teachers’ support of students’ basic psychological needs for autonomy, competence, and relatedness facilitates students’ autonomous self-regulation for learning, academic performance, and wellbeing.

Language and literacy teaching with games: the “who” and transformative actions

September 2, 2020

This is a narrative of my process of trying to make a real difference for and with my students. I describe what I struggled with, how I framed transformation for my context, and how I try to work with students in order to see them change over the course of my teaching projects.

I think there's a common misconception that school is the only thing that matters. And the school system makes a lot of people feel like if they're not doing the best academically or kind of meeting the limit, then maybe they're not going to do as well later in life or maybe there's something wrong with them. I feel like that's a whole, really incorrect kind of idea that's perpetuated by the school system.
