The Fun of Motivation: Crossing the Threshold Concepts. Este artículo no está disponible.The Fun of Motivation: Crossing the Threshold Concepts

"The Fun of Motivation is organized into two parts--Part I examines the theories behind motivation and fun in the classroom, and three instructional techniques that highlight their benefits. Part II offers the application of the theory set up in part I. It is composed of six chapters, each addressing one of the threshold concepts provided in the Framework for Information Literacy for Higher Education. Each chapter contains three lesson plans addressing the threshold concept, one for each of the three fun instructional techniques. Each lesson plan begins with the learning objective. It then lists the procedure, which includes the audience, supplies, and time needed for the lesson. Assessment opportunities are provided, with formative assessment strategies as well as summative assessments, including sample rubrics to apply to a range of student work. Each lesson plan ends with a section on modifications and accommodations that provide discussion of the lesson if necessary and additional ideas on how to adapt the lesson for different student populations"--
