Bernard Weiner
Weiner is a cognitive psychologist born in
1935, he is known for developing a form of attribution theory, which explains
the motivational and emotional entailments of academic success and failure, the
attributions are related with the
motivation and can affect the behavior of the people, their strategy and their social
relationships. He is an academic of the University of California, in Los
Angeles.
Bernard Weiner reformulated the Heider’s
theory, adding two aspects or dimensions, the controllable and the uncontrollable
causes. In the controllable causes, the bigger the control in the learning
process, the more the expectations can be and the higher the motivation to make
an effort to learn, and in the case of the uncontrollable causes he says that
in those causes is impossible to work.
I like this author because I think the
education is very important in the life of the people, I think that the
motivation is a very significant aspect in the learning process, because we
need to have the interest for apprehend the knowledge.
wow! I don't know him, but by your form to describe him I think that I could do it... I think that the motivation is really important...
