Chapter 4: Motivation
Motivation is an internal force that activates, directs and sustains behaviour towards the attainment of a goal. A goal is something that an individual wants to achieve.
The underlying theme for students in the SPORT PSYCHOLOGY MODULE is encouraging them to “strive to be their best.”

Motivation and Music - Evidence• Music has helped elite tri-athletes in Australia increase their endurance by 15 researchers
say.
Synchronous music, where stride length is matched to musical tempo, can have metronomic effects on the body by allowing athletes to run for longer, they say.
Dr Costas Karageorghis and Professor Peter Terry, sports psychologists from Brunel University West London and the University of Southern Queensland, Toowoomba respectively found music increased energy efficiency by 1-3%, meaning athletes could run further on the same amount of oxygen.
Their study also examined how the power of music lowers the perception of effort. Women were found to benefit more than men from the mood-enhancing effects of music.
Previous research by the team has shown that it is not only professionals, but also recreationally active people, who can gain benefits from synchronous music.

Teacher Resource Book – NEW!:

![Page 51: Psychology in Action Second edition](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062411/5681691b550346895de03cae/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
• VELS Assessment rubrics
• It is a difficult thing to apply VELS to Psychology – there are no current examples!
• Psychology easily draws on so many of the Non-Discipline VELS in terms of the nature of both course content and style of classroom activities, for instance:
• Health and Physical Education Civics and Citizenship• Interpersonal Development Communication• Personal Learning Thinking • * All relevant domains and their respective dimensions
are covered by each Assessment Rubric for every chapter.
![Page 52: Psychology in Action Second edition](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062411/5681691b550346895de03cae/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
Psychology is clearly placed in the VELS Discipline Strand of Science
• We also use Science VELS as a model to construct learning focus statements for Psychology across both dimensions:
- Science knowledge and understanding- Science at work
• Each chapter clearly falls into these two dimensions as Psychology in Action is, in essence, about
- psychological theory (Science knowledge and understanding) - and how it is put into action by professionals (Science at Work)
![Page 53: Psychology in Action Second edition](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062411/5681691b550346895de03cae/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
• Therefore, our VELS analysis and assessment rubrics have been constructed to allow easy assessment of the:
Non-Discipline Strands: Physical, Personal and Social Learning and Interdisciplinary Learning
• Discipline Strand: Science Domain
• These are built around progression points at Level 6 for each dimension; providing a useful guide to track students' learning.
• Assessment rubrics are available for each set of activity outcomes in every textbook chapter and the Teacher Resource Book.
