Teachers' behavior is a key factor that influences students' motivation.

Empirical evidence has attested to the benefits of autonomy support in a classroom context, in facilitating students' autonomous motivation, well-being, creativity, engagement, and persistence. However, most interventional research aiming to increase teachers' autonomy-supportive behaviors has been conducted in school and college contexts, with…

Mukhopadhyay, M.; Saxena, A. B. – 1981

It is the verbal and physical interplay among these states that can be observed in behavior patterns. The parent ego state asserts value judgments and classifies behavior as good or…
