This paper aims to introduce a flexible framework called FIMO dedicated to intrinsic motivation in developmental robotics. With this framework we want to offer a common way of implementing, testing and analyzing mechanisms related to intrinsically motivated algorithms. It may be seen as a generic complex open source framework for online exploration and structuring of learning spaces. We hereby ...

Abstract The primary question of this study is whether OLM and OSLM mechanisms, when used in a digital game, offer higher motivation. Furthermore, the investigates game’s aesthetics mechanics support players’ intrinsic Both claims are tested through design, implementation pilot use Multiplication Game (MG). MG learning activity that supports pupils achieving multiplication competence provides t...

In this paper, we study intrinsic vs. extrinsic motivation in players playing an electrical engineering gaming environment. We used UNTANGLED, a highly interactive game to conduct this study. This game is developed to solve complex mapping problem from electrical engineering using human intuitions. Our goal is to find whether there are differences in the ways anonymous players solved electrical...

This article explores the theories of Self-Determination, Cognitive Evaluation, and Intrinsic Motivation as it applies to home education. According to Self-Determination Theory, intrinsic motivation is innate. However, the maintenance and enhancement of intrinsic motivation depends upon the social and environmental conditions surrounding the individual. Deci and Ryan’s Cognitive Evaluation Theo...

Intrinsic Motivation Defined The word intrinsic refers to an internal worth of an object. Intrinsic motivation is therefore motivation created by internal factors rather than external. A classic definition is " a motivation to engage in activities that enhance or maintain a person's self-concept " (Purkey & Stanley, 1991). Later studies focus on the perceived feelings, especially enjoyment, tha...

To examine the emergent properties of information seeking in hyperlinked environments, in this paper we developed a cyclic model. Using this model as a framework, the relationships among perceived goal difficulty, goal success, and self-efficacy were examined. Selfefficacy was conceptualized as a mediating mechanism and intrinsic motivation (IM) in the task was examined as a moderator. Data wer...

The purpose of this study was to test a motivational model of the coach-athlete relationship, based on self-determination theory and on the hierarchical model of intrinsic and extrinsic motivation. The sample comprised of 608 athletes (ages of 12-17 years) completed the following measures: interest in athlete's input, praise for autonomous behavior, perceived autonomy, intrinsic motivation, and...
