• C. Carl Rogers
• D. Alan Mclean

Answer 1

Answer:

D. Alan Mclean

• Alan McLean is a Scottish psychologist who developed the concept of the "Motivated School." His work focuses on how the school environment and the relationship between teachers and students can either stifle or stimulate a student's natural desire to learn.

• Self-Motivation: McLean argues that motivation is not something teachers "do" to students; rather, schools should create the right conditions for students to motivate themselves.

• The Three Drivers: He identifies three core drivers for motivation in a school setting:

  1. Autonomy: Having a sense of control over one's learning.

  2. Competence: Feeling capable and successful.

  3. Relatedness: Feeling a sense of belonging and connection to others.

• Climate for Learning: The concept emphasizes shifting from a "performance-based" culture to a "learning-based" culture.

• Abraham Maslow: Famous for the Hierarchy of Needs, which explains human motivation in general (physiological needs to self-actualization), but he did not formulate the specific "Motivated School" framework.

• Alfred Adler: Known for Individual Psychology and the concept of the "Inferiority Complex." He focused on how social interest and striving for superiority drive behavior.

• Carl Rogers: A pioneer of the Humanistic Approach and "Student-Centered Learning." While his ideas influence modern schooling, the term "Motivated School" is specific to McLean.
