Read the first 7 Learner Engagement & Motivation flashcards as text

  1. A client consistently abandons career development tasks mid-way. Which motivational concept best explains this pattern?

    Answer: Low self-efficacy beliefs about task completion

    Low self-efficacy — the belief in one's ability to complete a task — is a primary driver of task abandonment before completion.

  2. When using the GROW model to re-engage a disengaged client, which step is most critical for restoring motivation?

    Answer: Will/Way Forward

    The Will/Way Forward step establishes commitment and specific action plans, which directly re-energizes a disengaged client.

  3. A career coach notices a client is only motivated when praise is given. This reflects primarily which type of motivation?

    Answer: External regulation

    External regulation describes motivation driven entirely by outside rewards or praise rather than internal values.

  4. Which engagement strategy is most effective when a client's learning style is highly kinesthetic?

    Answer: Encouraging role-playing and real-world practice scenarios

    Kinesthetic learners engage most deeply through hands-on practice and active experiential exercises.

  5. A client expresses boredom with their career exploration homework. The BEST coach response is to:

    Answer: Explore what specifically feels unstimulating and co-create alternatives

    Collaboratively diagnosing the source of disengagement and co-creating solutions increases ownership and re-ignites motivation.

  6. According to Flow Theory (Csikszentmihalyi), a client achieves peak engagement when:

    Answer: Challenge level slightly exceeds current skill level

    Flow occurs at the intersection of high challenge and high skill, where tasks feel neither too easy nor too overwhelming.

  7. When a client lacks motivation due to unclear career goals, the most appropriate initial coaching intervention is:

    Answer: Help the client articulate their core values and how they connect to career paths

    Connecting career exploration to core values creates intrinsic motivation and gives direction to goal-setting.
