No seguimento do post anterior, divulgamos o estudo intitulado "Pressure and its Effects on Unmotivated Students", que aborda eficazmente a relação entre a desmotivação dos alunos e a pressão a que se encontram sujeitos.
Segundo o mesmo:
- "(...)as we move further into our childhood, other pressures begin to emerge and there is evolving parental expectation that we begin to recognize pressure, acknowledge it, accept responsibility for it and act responsibly to eliminate it (such as, we attend school, have homework, do the work, learn, and are pleased with the results). There is a gradual progression through our developmental years in which pressure comes ever more directly on us and we are expected to responsibly react to it."
- "When unmotivated students feel pressure, their response is usually an over-reliance on defense mechanisms (procrastination, detachment, magical thinking, intellectualization, minimization, projection, denial, repression, manipulation, avoidance, and so forth). Rather than acting to change their circumstances through mature, responsible action, they avoid progressing toward an effective outcome."
- "For these unmotivated students, their defenses work overtime trying to protect themselves from the perceived discomforts of pressure. They do this because they are developmentally immature, they have low self-esteem, low self-confidence, excessive fear of failure, fear of the unknown, and a plethora of other fears that keep them from reacting appropriately. When pressure arrives, their response is "I must escape" rather than the more productive "I must engage and take charge." They use defenses well, so the perceived, surface pressure is lessened."
