Through the process in which vocational self-realization motivates adolescents for school work, adolescents regard school work as a means of prosocial (intention to social contribution) self-realization, along with creating possible selves by their future time perspective, based on egocentricity of learning. The process also includes seeking social roles as the other side of identity formation, setting goals as expressions of values, and self-regulating and delay of gratification to achieve the set goals. This work also highlights that the myth of intrinsic motivation, the idea that places the highest value on enjoyment (or interests, curiosity) of academic contents itself in school work, is incompatible with adolescent school work. Especially, findings by Deci and his colleagues’ self-determination theory, which strongly supports the myth, are not reasonable with respect to school work.}, pages = {117--145}, title = {Prosocial / vocational self-realization as the core of academic motivation in adolescents : Overcoming the myth of intrinsic motivation (secondary publication)}, volume = {56}, year = {2019} }
