Studies show that learning processes function better when they are characterized by intrinsic motivation and autonomous forms of extrinsic motivation. And will external control be introduced in most learning groups, which can undermine the psychological process of deep, high-quality learning. It has been proven that high motivation, self-regulated learning and better performance are created when learners experience independence, competence and connectedness.
On the basis of these thoughts, the EU project “Create – Motivate – Learn” developed and tested innovative strategies, techniques and learning activities that anchor these aspects in the learning process and thus make a lasting contribution to learning motivation in adult education. These methods and strategies are to be disseminated through the handbook and made available to a large number of adult educators, trainers and teachers.
