I can't comprehend how amazing it is Ed could condense SDT into 14 minutes in simple language that most people can understand and imagine well. I refer to this whenever I need to SIMPLIFY my own speaking! I've known about SDT for a decade, since I dedicated to attaining my own self-determination at 14 years old. But it wasn't until sometime over mid-2017 when I realized the profound brilliance of SDT. It's not just "here are these three needs, they're important". It's the fact that these needs combine and make something entirely new, unlike any other state of living. As the primary colors, these needs connect and create everything else within the experience of self-determination.
The book "Drive" by Daniel Pink argues that long term, intrinsic motivation comes from a combination of three factors: 1. our need for autonomy (aka freedom to make our own choices) 2. our quest for masterry 3. our desire to feel we have a purpose, that we are working toward a goal bigger, and longer living than ourselves. The book starts out with Edward Deci's experiments from almost forty years ago. It's nice to watch this video and see Mr. Deci explaining his theories in person. 😊
Autonomy Support vs Motivating Others. Brilliant. 2x worked for me. At first I thought the playback speed was accidentally set at .75 but he just talks slow.
I am really interested with SDT. I think this could be a central theory to make a progress in our society. Think about how we should arrange education (as already happened in Finland, where the education system mostly depend on intrinsic motivation rather than grades and rankings). Think about how we should manage our business (there is a management model that support autonomy: Management by Objectives). Think about how we should raise our kids and make them a better person.
besides autonomy support, competence and relatedness support, need satisfactions, are also important for intrinsic motivation to occur, but as Deci said, autonomy need is way central for intrinsic motivation. seems many things to learn from such brains!
Glad to hear Prof Ed Deci. I however wonder why did he leave out talking about "competence" which is an integral part of his "Self-determination Theory".
I love you Deci, you r the best!!!! I live your way---this theory is very much like the vedic phil. and the true way of how the Hinduistic phil is built upon.
✨10:21 - If the ripple effect from Autonomously Motivated Teachers, Doctors, Bosses, Coaches, Parents, and even Politicians has been shown to hold *positive, integrating and sustainable 'strengthening' effects,* then the _opposite_ is true of those same 'leaders' motivated by Controlled Motivation. Thus: That which falls under "Controlled Motivation" is likely to be short lived and decay sooner.
How do I support autonomy for students in a public school - where grading and learning (and therefore teaching) to the test is just the beginning of a life in an achievement-oriented society? HOW? Anyone?
Could you focus on learning, instead of the test? Focus on mastery instead of performance? Could you start a teaching lesson with a rational of that lesson? Could you provide the students with choice in how they want to learn? Do you know your students at a personal level, how they feel and how their home situation is?. It seems as you are aware of test´s high-stake function. That is a good start. I.e. you will not teach for the test.
Even if you just offer little options here and there so students feel that they have choices helps them to be more engaged in learning. Allow them to choose the methods and means of how they get to the given goal...every student is so different and learns differently so it shouldn't be a "one-size-fits-all" mentality when we design our lessons. Check out the UDL Guidelines (Universal Design for Learning)--this has totally changed my teaching practices. "Optimizing individual choice and autonomy" is one of the guiding principles as well as "vary the methods for response and navigation."
Hey, I've been a youth mentor doing hella tough work in advocating for childhood autonomy with a lot of people, including many who have been outright hostile and vicious. I'll summarize the key points of a strategy I would advise you to try. Working in a public school is one of the worst places to be for respecting childhood autonomy. Fair warning, if you want to make a real difference, your workplace will most likely turn on you. Start by doing thorough research, and taking every conversation on its own. It's just you and that student in that context, and there is a huge amount of "invisible autonomy" that you can help foster by showing them consistent respect for their decisions. Once you've done enough research and micro-experiments to grow as much as you can on your own, start reaching out to staff to discuss changes. Start with those you are closest with or trust the most, especially if they aren't a boss or higher-up authority. Make sure you're on top of your game for clearly defining the most important problems, and providing solutions before they can leap to rejection out of discomfort. If you tempt them with flexible, actual solutions they may just think a bit more open-minded. That stage gets risky, and will make or break your experience. It's most likely that you will spin your wheels in the mud and become a target for being fired. Likely a target for collusion. As soon as you start seeing red flags, applying the philosophy of autonomy to the adults on hand as well, then it's time to look for a better job. Try looking at charter, Montessori, and Waldorf schools. Someone like myself would hate doing that kind of work because it's too much like the school system. But if you have survived public school, the right alternative school can be a lot better. I would encourage you to also look at youth mentorship and case management positions. Make sure you differentiate jobs that are government funded from the private organizations, because government youth positions are often overrun with the worst of the worst violent corruption. Child Protection Services and foster care is statistically a nightmare. You don't want any position that calls you a "social worker" by title. If you get an unconventional youth mentor job, it may be part time at first. Especially if it's truly cutting edge and deeply fulfilling. That kind of position is often run by a nonprofit small community organization that is truly a valuable and enriching asset to the community. It doesn't have the same kind of dead disconnect and unnatural age segregation that public schools have, preventing kids and adults coexisting truly symbiotically in the real world. Anyways, I hope that helps. I'm on the long-term path of opening a youth mentorship organization in the next 3-5 years so I definitely have the skills and experience. Good luck.
Does anyone here have the book Self Determination Theory in PDF and would agree to send it to me? I know this is wrong, but I can’t buy one right now and it would help me loads with an assignment!
🧐? 4:28 Deci States that Controlled Motivation is the means by which one directs behaviour by "seduction" or "Coercion" - then at 8:58 Proceeds to suggest "Autonomous Motivation" as a way to Seduce/Coerce aka - "Getting people to be" . Just confusing. - is this not just calling the same thing by a different name? 🚩One is _Motivated_ to AVOID PAIN (away from) ✅One is _Inspired_ to PERSUE PLEASURE (toward)
🤔What kind of a world have we created where a caring and genuinely empathic man must spend 30 years of his valuable life in the rigours and throws of researching a topic in a 'self-sacrificial and scientifically compliant attempt' to convince a predominantly cynical civilisation of closed-minded individuals that to "Follow your bliss" is a wholesome and beneficial path for both oneself, and the broader collective population? Why as a society must we persist with the unrelenting limitation and insistence on how one's personal experience of 'individual success' must be verified and validated by others? Watch 20 Near-Death Experience videos and you'll get the "Big Picture" message clear as a bell, and free from the limitations of 'material science'.
1.5x worked for me. Very informative and well-organized speech.

I love his voice. This man is so precious and he condenses his speeches so well!
oh do you ?
He sounds sweet, but there is somet h i n g....wrong?

You better play this at 1.25 speed!
Holy smokes that worked well thanks! BAHAHA
Thanks so much
Randomize Oslo 저의 영어실력에는 지금이 딱 듣기 좋으네요^^
How do you do that? Geesh!
Never mind. Figured it out. THANKS!
Autonomy Support vs Motivating Others. Brilliant.

9:00 autonomy support - way of getting people to be more autonomously motivated
Yes. I see the contradiction also, however I do genuinely feel an intrinsically directed life is the most healthy pathway to create.
I am really interested with SDT. I think this could be a central theory to make a progress in our society. Think about how we should arrange education (as already happened in Finland, where the education system mostly depend on intrinsic motivation rather than grades and rankings).

This video is the goods. I know Dan Pink made a mint mining the same vein, but his book Drive owes a LOT to Ed Deci.
Glad to hear Prof Ed Deci. I however wonder why did he leave out talking about "competence" which is an integral part of his "Self-determination Theory".
could be the time limit of TED talk?
I love you Deci, you r the best!!!! I live your way---this theory is very much like the vedic phil. and the true way of how the Hinduistic phil is built upon.
That was an amazing speech! Thank you Ed, truly!

9:11 sums up the most important tools for supporting autonomy
1.5 indeed, Ed is awesome!
Love seeing different perspectives, would love to connect with some of you guys on here!
Tank you :)
I love the work of ryan and Deci :)
I wonder, if Mr. Deci is making this presentation intrinsically motivated :).
SDT is a definitely central theory!! I like it!!
Excellent video
Short and precise!
thanks a lot you bring the message home!
Impressive final words!
Yess! You rule.
THIS IS GOLD !!
thank you!
Excellent talk, awesome researcher.
Be careful with the subtitles in English, they have a lot of mistakes. The conference is very interesting!
very good summary for Motivation.
11:58 Good relationship advice
love it!~~
i like it, tks
