“John Atkinson and his colleagues developed an influential expectancy X value theory of achievement motivation. The tendency to strive for success is, in this formulation, a multiplicative combination of the motivation to succeed, the value placed on success, and the likelihood of success”(Darity 15).

“A more cognitive approach to achievement motivation emphasizes how individuals understand and explain successes and failures. Bernard Weiner proposed that explanations for performances vary in two dimensions. Explanations may be either internal (something about the performer) or external (something about the performance situation), and they also vary in whether the cause is stable (likely to be the same in the future) or unstable (likely to be different in the future)”(Darity 15).

Self-determination theory (SDT) is a macro-theory of human motivation, personality development, and well- being. The theory focuses especially on volitional or self- determined behavior and the conditions that promote it, as well as a set of basic and universal psychological needs, namely those for autonomy, competence, and relatedness, the fulfillment of which is considered essential to vital, healthy human functioning”(Darity 407).

“SDT begins with the assumption that people are active organisms, with inherent tendencies toward psycho- logical growth and development. This active nature is manifest in the phenomenon of intrinsic motivation, the innate tendency to seek out novelty, challenges, and oppor- tunities to learn. It is also evident in the phenomenon of internalization, or the tendency of persons to adopt, and attempt to integrate, ambient social mores and values”(Darity 407).

“There is a poster in my colleague’s classroom that reads: “FAIL—first attempt in learning. As students get older they become more uncomfortable taking risks because they are afraid of the sense of failure that comes with being wrong. Teachers can promote a growth mindset by sharing their own mistakes with students”(Robinson 19).

“When students are given the opportunities to track their progress over time, they see their growth and become empowered”(Robinson 20).

“Another concern of this ‘false growth mindset’ is educators claim to have a growth mindset without actually changing their thinking”(Adams 22).

“Unfortunately, some view musical- ity through the lens of a fixed mind- set, believing that music is a talent that only some individuals possess.6Some people consider themselves “tone-deaf” or view themselves as “unmusical,” thus opting out of elec- tive music in the upper grades and adulthood”(Adams 22).

The connection between these two is that they both explain and discuss the Self-determination theory.
