6. "Belief mining": Digging up motivational beliefs for action

August 11, 2022 • Dr Shyam Barr and Rory McCaughey • Season 1 • Episode 6

Many learners lack knowledge or awareness of the different motivational beliefs that are influencing their approach to learning. In Episode 6, Rory McCaughey and Dr Shyam Barr explore the idea of "belief mining", the notion of identifying a learner's deeply held motivational beliefs and making them explicit for greater action.

"Without awareness of those motivational beliefs and their influence on learning. We can't really do anything about them."

All the above and more in less than 20 minutes! :)
