advanSR motivates by the proven concept of combining both intrinsic and extrinsic motivation, through the principles of Self Determination Theory.
Intrinsic learning, Self Determination Theory (SDT);
Competence = mastering skills (or behaviors)
Autonomy = a feeling of choice (choosing to display the behaviors requested)
Relatedness = social connection (game leaderboard, peer interaction)
Extrinsic motivation;
Badges, points, scoreboard, etc.
Students have fun, earn rewards and are motivated both intrinsically and extrinsically as they advance through their advanSR Quest levels (gamification!), by attending school, completing assignments, and participating in extra-curricular activities. Additionally, points earned are redeemed for rewards. More Quest levels = more points = more rewards = more student success.
