PANDELO, María Cecilia e HUERTAS, Juan Antonio. Private Speech as a window into motivation research in adolescents with mild intelectual disability. Interdisciplinaria [online]. 2022, vol.39, n.3, pp.225-242. Epub 19-Ago-2022. ISSN 1668-7027. http://dx.doi.org/10.16888/interd.2022.39.3.13.
The purpose of this paper is to present part of a research study carried out within the framework of a master's thesis. The aim of the master’s thesis is to study the motivational orientations of high school students with mild intellectual disability (MID) towards the learning process. The work intends to test the usefulness of ‘private speech’ (PS) to obtain information about the motivational characteristics of the participants. In order to achieve this, the content present in the PS emissions of the participants during the resolution of tasks with different load of cognitive demand was registered, described and analyzed. During the experimental sessions, the participants’ PS emissions were registered and then coded to determine three different types of PS (irrelevant for the task, relevant for the task and PS with motivational content). Then, the PS emissions with motivational content were classified into categories and subcategories (using the classification system of Montero & Huertas, 1999). Following this classification, the information was organized according to the motivational orientation they expressed; as a conclusion, motivational patterns can be described. The results reveal that PS studies are a powerful tool to understand the motivational characteristics of adolescents with MID.
