    Theoretical +once!tual Frame.ork

    "artin Ford9s "otivational Systems Theory !ro!osed a frame.ork focusing on

    the individual learner as the unit of analysis ,ut em,eds the individual learner in the

    ,iological social and environmental conteEts that are salient to develo!ment/

    Furthermore Ford !ro!osed a sim!le mathematical formula that attem!ted to re!resent

    all these factors in a single model/ For him the formula for effective learner-in-conteEt

    functioning is:

     Achievement 3"otivation E Skill4 E 8es!onsive nvironment

    The formula !ro!oses that actual Hachievement and com!etence are the results

    of a motivated skillful and ,iologically ca!a,le !erson interacting .ith a res!onsive

    environmentI 3Ford '00%4/

     A similar formula .as utili6ed ,y inder 3'0;(4 and 3cited in ?onis C 2udson

    %&&74 to demonstrate !erformance as a multi!licative function of ,oth a,ility and

    motivation:

    erformance A,ility E "otivation

    The aforementioned formula indicates that a !u!il .ith very high a,ility ,ut lo.

    motivation is unlikely to !erform .ell .hereas a !u!il .ith lo. a,ility ,ut high motivation

    is likely to !erform .ell/ That is the inconsistency in motivation across !u!ils may

    dam!en links ,et.een a,ility and !erformance/ =n the same light one can argue that it

    is sim!ly the study ha,its and attitudes that ultimately ,ring a,out the desired
