This book provides a fresh look at the question of learner
motivation and engagement, beginning with an investigation of
potential motivations not to learn, the better to help instructors
find more successful ways to engage learners in any given
situation. After examining various kinds of resistance to learning,
the book goes on to describe effective ways of overcoming
resistance and engaging learners. Grounded in the literature of
many fields, such as Adult Education, Psychology, Sociology,
Cultural Anthropology, and Communication (as well as the author's
own decades of experience), the book connects the concepts
surrounding learning resistance directly to engagement and human
motivation, drawing these ideas together to make the case for
practicing motivational immediacy in all learning spaces. The
second section of the book focuses on the various tools effective
teachers might use to mitigate learner resistance and foster
authentic and lasting engagement. The author devotes a chapter to
using curriculum and Instructional Systems Design (ISD) processes
to effectively foster engaged learning in different learning spaces
and contexts. Two chapters are devoted to applying the theory and
methods to specific domains: online learning environments, and
face-to-face classrooms with both undergraduate and graduate
students. The last section includes a chapter that provides a
potential method to measure effectual learning in the classroom,
and one that addresses the ethical issues sometimes said to exist
in efforts to mitigate learner resistance and foster engagement in
its place. The final chapter draws the book to a close by
presenting a fluid whole that will greatly improve understanding of
the ideas as well as the methods best used to reduce learning
resistance, increase learner engagement, and facilitate
motivational immediacy and effectual learning.
