They will understand socio-cognitive approaches of motivation in order to identify the variables upon which teachers can act in order to motivate students.
They will also better understand how some methodological choices can lead to socio-cognitive misunderstandings and they will identify didactic avenues aiming to help pupils to really understand the cognitive challenges of Learning.
