Autonomy, competence, and relatedness in the classroom: Applying self-determination theory to educational practice

Niemiec & Ryan

2009

A foundation text for understanding the application of self-determination theory in educational practice. Evidence suggests that teachers’ support of students’ basic psychological needs for autonomy, competence, and relatedness facilitates students’ autonomous self-regulation for learning, academic performance, and wellbeing.

A rocket ship.

I think a lot of communities have a problem of too much competition, I guess. That they can't... when it gets to a point that they can't be happy for other people's accomplishments and that the only thing they can do is want to be better than the other person or the rest of them.
