How could you monitor a toddler's motivation during interaction and learning opportunities?
Possible solutions would be to take data on the following:
The toddler’s responsivity A high percentage of responding indicates that toddler is motivated to learn and interact.
The toddler’s happiness and interest in the interaction (affect)
Use a Likert scale, such as the one in the Likert Scale to Monitor Toddler Affect and Plan PRT.
The toddler’s initiations
If a toddler is frequently initiating interactions and learning opportunities, this could indicate that the toddler is motivated to learn and interact.
