The model consists of
5 primary components
and is based on research
and theories
Success
Interest
Caring
Instructors need to ensure that students:
eMpowerment
believe that they have some control over
some aspect of their learning
Usefulness
understand why the content is useful
Success
believe that they can succeed if they put
forth the effort
Interest
are interested in what they are supposed
to be learning
believe that the instructor cares about
whether they meet the course objectives
Caring
1. Do students believe that they have control
over some aspects of their learning?
Example: Providing choices
2. Do students believe that the instructor
empowers them and does not try to
manipulate their behavior?
Example: Providing rationales for rules/directions
1. Do students understand why what they are learning
is useful to their interests, to their career goals,
and/or in the “real-world”?
Example: Explicitly explaining the usefulness
Example: Providing activities that demonstrate
usefulness
1. Do students understand the instructor’s expectations
of them?
Example: Having explicit grading criteria
2. Do students find the learning activities challenging in
that they are not too hard or easy?
Example: Dividing complex learning activities into
sections
3. Do students receive regular feedback about their
level of competence?
Example: Providing opportunities for regular feedback
4. Do students believe that they can succeed if they put
forth the effort?
Example: Providing a “study tips” guide
1. Do students demonstrate a situational
interest in the course activities?
Examples: Using novelty, social interaction,
games, humor; engendering emotions; varying
