Title: Assessing Reading and Writing motivation of primary school students
Reading and writing motivation is the key concept in school psychology. School counselors often encounter with concentration difficulty, aggression, school phobia, negligence to study, interpersonal conflict with school teachers or tutors and peer group. Finally this leads to high absenteeism, indiscipline in school and dropout. It has been noted that when school students are counseled with intrinsic reading and writing motivation, they perform better in the school. Students who scored better in the school examination are more intrinsically motivated. This is observed when scores of reading and writing motivation questionnaire are correlated with academic performance. Aim of this workshop is to train school psychologist about basic concepts of reading and writing motivation and how to assess them using two reliable and valid instruments. Trainees will understand different methods to develop the questionnaires.
Time: 2 hours (1 hour for basic concept and 1 hour for understanding psychometric method to develop questionnaire).
