And Why Children Why Children Seek Information
+Relationships that Foster Intrinsic Motivation for Information Seeking By Sherry R. Crow
+Phenomenography
Qualitative Resarch

Focus on manifest content, similarities and differences and categories
Provides a map of a situation through patterns of variations
+What are the experiences in the lives of upper elementary school children that foster an intrinsic motivation to seek information?
+The Self-Determination Approach
An organismic/dialetical apporach with differentiated conceptualizations of intrinsic and extrinsic motivation.
Suggest that environment and social contexts facilitate or undermine intrinsic motivation and self-regulation of externally motivated behavior.
+What is Intrinsic Motivation?
The inherent tendency to seek out novelty and challenges
To extend and exercise one’s capacities
To explore and to learn
(Ryan & Deci, 2000 b, p. 70)
+The 4 mini-theories of Self-Determination Theory
Cognitive Evaluation Theory
Organismic Integrity Theory
Causality orientations Theory
Basic Needs Theory
+Focus on Cognitive Evaluation Theory
Social conditions that produce a sense of autonomy and feelings of competence catalyze one’s inherent tendency toward intrinsic motivation.
Relatedness is also a significant factor. Need to Belong
+Research Methodology
9 fifth grade students out of 178 scored high for intrinsic motivation style on “The Information Seeking Self-Regulation Questionnaire
Data for the study was collected primarily through interviews with the 9 students and
Information gleaned from parents and teachers
Drawings gathered from an art activity
+Information sought was:
The factors in the students’ life experiences that contributed to their dispositions toward seeking information generally, and
The factors surrounding their information seeking experiences.
+4 Main Information Seeking Relationships
Students’ affinity for play
Point-of-passion experience
Presence of “anchor” relationships
Preference for group work
+Play
Students have a particular affinity for play.
Discuss play enthusiastically
Connect Play to Information Seeking
+Anchor Relationships
Family or personal relationship that furnishes a secure base for their autonomous actions and information seeking behavior.
+Point-of-Passion Experience
Students’ first remembered experience regarding an interest or fascination they have pursued.
+Favorite Information-seeking Episodes
Students described experiences of working in groups to complete an assignment as the most enjoyable and rewarding.
+Culture and Relationships
In a Lepper, Corpus and Iyenger study, there was a positive correlation between intrrinsic motivation and pleasing the teacher
Research points to the universality of the connection between need satisfaction and intrinsic motivation, but emphasis may differ depending on culture.
Autonomy seems to be the dominant need in individualistic societies
Relatedness seems to be the dominant need in collective societies
+Intrinsically Motivated Students seek information :
For Fun and enjoyment
As a part of daily living
Include their passions, interests and activities
