Motivation for the Online Graduate Student: Intrinsic and Extrinsic Factors to Consider
Abstract
The chapter discusses motivating and demotivating factors in online graduate education. Starting with relevant research in the field of human development from Freud to Erickson and including Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs, a framework for constructive feedback, specific and timely suggestions for class, and programmatic structures are explored and compared to the latest in the research around graduate-level programs. The chapter also explores the factors surrounding the exponential growth of online graduate instruction. Success drivers based on field research are identified, and finally, programmatic changes are suggested. Changes that the online graduate student can make themselves are suggested as ways to keep motivation levels high.
