Motivational Strategy Program for Middle Manager at Yildiz.Inc
Cognitive Apprenticeship Prototype Proposal
Application of Constructivism
Constructivist instruction emphasizes that learning occurs, as learners are actively
involved in a process of meaning making and knowledge construction. Learners make
their own meaning and knowledge. Constructivist teaching fosters critical thinking and
creates motivated and independent learners.
My proposal aims to recommend a motivational-strategy training program in
constructivist learning environment for middle level managers at Yildiz. Inc., a young
retail company, not only to develop their skills to create and plan strategies to improve
employees motivation based on understanding of the individuals values, needs and
situations, but also to improve their skills and knowledge in integrating factual
information with theoretical information to derive a sensible solution to various
motivational problems at work.
In an organization, motivation is an internal engine in productivity. Helping them
taking their ownership of learning, the constructivist leaning environment applied for this
program will provide these middle level managers at Yildiz opportunities to become
highly motivated to function their roles at work to make their employees highly
motivated.

interaction with the mentor and peers by using the available tools on the website, mentor
and peer feedback during all discussions, final motivational strategic plan created by
learners, short presentation about the final strategic plan. Learners will also be asked to
write reflections regarding their learning experiences, connecting it to the work they have
completed whenever possible and self assess their work.
