We're currently going through motivational theories in class and our teacher insists on comparing the theories and knowing their advantages and disadvantages. Is comparing them absolutely necessary, or even required? I am not aware of any past exam questions that required this and would like to know what you guys think...



thanks :) !

Yes, you will need to know the differences and advantages/disadvantages of each motivational theory. Past exams have not covered all the content from the study design. For example, last year was the first time the exam ever covered Senge's Learning Principle, despite being in the study design since 2017. I would also recommend learning anything your teacher says is required, in case it is covered in your SAC.

That's actually a very valid point, I did not think of that :') Thank you for the response!

The bit that says "compare and evaluate" is referring to motivation strategies, not theories, is it not? But either way I guess its safer to learn it just in case  :)

yeah sorry I was more referring to the first point, since Im sure you'd have to know the advantages and disadvantages of each to fulfil the 'examine and apply' criteria
