Abstract: | This study investigated the motivational components of adult learning within informal educational settings using Constructivist grounded theory methodology. The research question - what are the motivational components of adult informal learning viewed in the Equine Assisted Learning practice framework as a learning space, where primarily learning takes place. Three dominant motivational components of adult learning were identified from the study and offered for discussion. Equine-Assisted Learning as an informal learning environment incorporates motivational components that appear intrinsic over extrinsic motivation, performance over achievement, and immediate satisfaction over long-term benefit. These motivational components are detailed further through three surfaced subcategories: interest-driven learning, immediate satisfaction, and desire for the challenge. |
