Dr. John Keller, Florida State University, synthesized existing research on psychological motivation and created what is known as the ARCS instructional model. ARCS stands for Attention, Relevance, Confidence, and Satisfaction.
This presentation will discuss, in a fun and informative way, how the ARCS model may be used to motivate students in advising situations. From the viewpoint that advising is teaching, specific suggestions and ideas will be presented along with the opportunity for further discussion about how to best apply each portion of the ARCS model.
