Think


about


an


experience


you


had


where


you


felt


extremely


motivated.




In


a


3-


to


4-page


paper,




analyze


this


experience


according


to


the


experiential


format


below.




Each


subtitle


represents


a


different


section


of


the


paper.




You


can


use


the


subtitles


as


headings.

Introduction


:




Discuss


the


topic


of


the


paper


and


how


you


will


approach


it.




It


is


best


to


write


this


section


after


you


have


written


the


rest


of


the


paper.




The


Experience:




Begin


with


a


specific


situation/event.




Describe


the


experience


where


you


felt


extremely


motivated.




Be


objective


and


focus


on


just


the


facts:



who,


what,


where,


when,



and


how.

Reflection:


Reflect


upon


that


experience


from


the


multiple


perspectives


of


other


people


involved


or


affected


in


the


experience.




Step


back


from


the


situation,




look


at


the


experience


from


your


own


viewpoint,

and


the


viewpoints


of


other


parties


involved


or


affected.




Look


at


the


circumstances


surrounding


the


experience


from


every


relevant


perspective.




Why


was


the


experience


motivating


to


you?




What


did


others


do


that


increased


your


motivation?




Was


the


situation


(or


would


the


situation)


also


be


motivating


to


others?



(Note:



Your


discussion


of


theories


and


models


from


your


module


materials


belongs


in


the


following


section.)




Abstract


Conceptualization:



[Important:



This


Abstract


Conceptualization


section


is


the


“heart”


of


your


paper.




Use


critical


thinking


skills


to


understand


and


interpret


the


experience


at


a


deeper,




more


generalizable


level.




Interpret


and


understand


the


events


you


have


described


by


drawing


on


the


concepts,



theories,



and


models


in


the


background


material


from


this


module.




What


behavior


patterns


can


you


identify


in


yourself


and


others


that


are


similar


to


the


ones


described


in


the


material


on


motivation,



values,



and/or


goals?




How


do


these


concepts


and


principles


explain

why


you


were


motivated?




What


general


principles


of


motivation


can


you


derive


from


this


analysis?



Apply



at


least




three


concepts,



theories,



and/or


models


and


cite


all


references


to


concepts


and


ideas


that


you


use


from


sources.




Be


sure


to


cite


all


references


to


concepts,



ideas,



and


quotes


you


use


that


come


from


any


outside


source.

Experimentation:


Identify


ways


to


respond


to


the


next


occurrence


of


a


similar


experience.




How


are


you


going


to


put


what


you


have


learned


to


use?




How


will


you


use


this


knowledge


to


motivate


yourself


and


others?




What


actions


will


you


take


to


create


a


work


environment


that


is


motivating?

Conclusion:


Sum


up


the


main


points


of


your


analysis


and


the


key


learnings


you


are


taking


from


it.
