GIVE PEOPLE AUTONOMY
Giving people control over what they are doing
makes them work harder.
by Susan Weinschenk, Ph.D. in Brain Wise
In a previous blog post I wrote that one of the best ways to motivate people is to stimulate a desire for mastery – and that breaking things into small pieces and showing progress through the pieces encourages the desire for mastery. Another tip for stimulating the desire for mastery is to give people autonomy. When people feel that they have some control over what they are doing and how they do it, then their desire for mastery increases. They will then be motivated to continue and keep learning. If people feel that they don’t have any control or autonomy, then they lose the desire to learn and do more – they may lose the desire to master whatever task you are asking them to do. Here’s an example: Let’s say that you have created a language learning app. The desire for mastery will be automatically in play if the person wants to learn a language. However, if you want people to continue using the app, and use it frequently and often, then you have to do more than just present lessons in the app. One way to further stimulate the desire for mastery, is to give them some control over how they use the app. You can provide different types of exercises and interactions, such as listening, writing, or speaking the language, and let them choose which exercises and activities they need or want, and in what order to do them. If they feel they have control over how quickly they go through the lessons, which ones they repeat, which activities to engage in, and in what order, then they will be more motivated to keep learning. What do you think? Have you tried giving autonomy to keep people motivated?

The main idea defended by the author in the text is that
- the desire for mastery is encouraged when things are broken into small pieces.
- people tend to feel more motivated when they are given more autonomy in their tasks.
- language learning apps encourage people to learn more.
- people’s desire for mastery diminishes when they are given more autonomy.
- language learning is always very challenging.

Comentário do professor
A autora defende que dar autonomia às pessoas aumenta sua motivação para trabalhar e aprender.
Ao sentir que têm controle sobre o que fazem e como fazem, as pessoas experimentam um crescimento do desejo por maestria, isto é, querem progredir e dominar a tarefa.
Essa sensação de controle reforça a motivação intrínseca e a persistência diante das atividades.
No exemplo do aplicativo de idiomas, permitir que o usuário escolha exercícios, ritmo e ordem das lições torna o aprendizado mais atraente e frequente, porque respeita sua autonomia. "When people feel that they have some control..."
Portanto, a ideia central é que oferecer autonomia nas tarefas estimula a motivação e o engajamento contínuo.
