Three types of Compassionate Leadership - Dalai Lama

 

Buddhist tradition describes three styles of compassionate leadership: the trailblazer, who leads from the front, takes risks, and sets an example; the ferryman, who accompanies those in his care and shapes the ups and downs of the crossing; and the shepherd, who sees every one of his flock into safety before himself. Three styles, three approaches, but what they have in common is an all-encompassing concern for the welfare of those they lead. - Dalai Lama.

Motivation to Learn in Education - Progress in Research

 


Motivation in education is a very lively field of research with a variety of new approaches proposed in recent days.  This includes:

1. a stronger inclusion of situational, social, and cultural characteristics in the explanatory context (Nolen, 2020), 

2. the use of findings from neuroscience to objectify assumptions about motivational processes (Hidi et al., 2019), 

3. the interaction of motivation and emotion in learning and performance (Pekrun & Marsh, 2022), 

4. the analysis of motivational profiles based on a person-centered approach (Linnenbrink-Garcia & Wormington, 2019), and

5.  the development of motivation interventions originating in sound theoretical approaches (Lazowski & Hulleman, 2016).
