Keller on Motivational Design of  \nInstruction  \nAli Simsek  \nAnadolu University, Turkey  \nJohn M. Keller is one of the most recognized and respected scholars in the field of educational technology and instructional design. He has worked at the junction of psychology, education, and technology. Along with many other contributions, he has developed an instructional design theory that can be used successfully both with traditional and emerging technologies to enhance instructional processes. Much of his work has focused on motivational aspects of instruction, which is a special area of concern for many instructional designers who aim to provide truly satisfying educational experiences for all learners. This indeed makes his contributions very unique and worthwhile. Although he had to build a convincing argument about the appeal of instruction in the beginning years of the Motivational Design Theory, it appears that his efforts have turned out to be fruitful so that now everybody talks about motivation as a vital component of instruction.  \nProfessor Keller’s celebrated ARCS Model (which stands for Attention, Relevance, Confidence, and Satisfaction) is well-known by instructional designers all around the world. Scholars in a large number of countries have investigated the applicability and effectiveness of this model, and they generally concluded that motivation should be an integral part any of effective learning system. It also appears that Keller’s model has recently been evolved to ARCS-V Model to include “Volition” as the fifth dimension. Considering the global influence of his contributions to the field of educational technology and instructional design, we decided to interview Professor Keller and share his views with colleagues. Similar to our previous interviews, we conducted this interview through online technologies of communication.  \nWhen and how did you start your academic career?  \nAfter graduating from the University of California at Riverside in 1965 I taught secondary school in Southern California for six years. During that time, I studied psychology at San Diego State University and then began my doctoral studies at Indiana University in the Instructional Systems Technology program in 1971. After graduating in 1974, I was fortunate to obtain a faculty position at Syracuse University. I stayed there until December of 1984 when I moved to Tallahassee, Florida, to join the Instructional Systems Program at Florida State University.  \nWhat were the research issues that attracted your initial attention?  \nAt the suggestion of one of my Educational Psychology professors at Indiana University during my graduate studies, I became interested in the concepts of locus of control and learned helplessness. At the time, I did not know how these topics would relate to instructional  \nsystems design but I was intrinsically interested in them and fortunately my professors allowed me to study these topics for my dissertation work.  \nHow did you develop an interest in motivation?  \nThere is a long story behind the development of my interest in motivation. It began when I was an undergraduate majoring in philosophy and literature. I was keenly interested in writers and philosophers such as Faulkner, Dostoevsky, Unamuno (e.g. Tragic Sense of Life), and many others that explored human motives, beliefs and values in depth. Later, when I began to study psychology and organizational behavior, I was interested in theories pertaining to motivation and performance.  \nWhat were your first discoveries about motivational aspects of learning?  \nIt wasn't until I became an assistant professor at Syracuse University that I realized that my primary area of research interest was motivation and learning. Together with a group of graduate students in an advanced seminar we read major motivational theories and discussed their relevance for learning design. The major outcome of the seminar was the realization that the many diffe","cbCaighUuXZunZXY","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaighUuXZunZXY","pdf",396417,"English","# Career and research beginnings\n## Start of academic career\n## Initial research issues\n# Motivation and learning\n## Developing interest in motivation\n## First discoveries about motivational learning\n# Linking motivation to instructional design\n## Integrating motivational concepts\n# Academic reception and future outlook\n## Response to motivating instructional design","[{\"question\":\"What instructional motivation framework is central to John M.
