You can find background information of Flow Theory within the charts

It`s really useful chart to have all theories related to learning and motivation in a summary version.Thanks for sharing.

I agree with Defne..Thank you Burcu for sharing..I always like this type of charts & tables summarizing the things..And I have felt closer to Harter's Effentance Motivation by the way.

It is brief information mentioning about its roots as well. And I think Mr. C. is pronounced as "chick-sent-me-high-ee" :)

nice brief summary

Yes, the sentences and phrases explain everything, thanks.

the graphical illustration is really nice in the video

For both the ones who encounter "Flow Theory" for the first time and the ones who have encountered before and had a notion about the theory, this video will be very helpful to see what Flow Theory says, and what are the moments that you experience Flow.

"You know that what you need to do is possible to do, even though difficult, and sense of time disappears. You forget yourself. You feel part of something larger." I really liked this quote of him. :)

I am sharing this video of kid games which are almost forgotten. Remember that as a kid, we used to keep flowed in physical space as well. It seems that for being flowed, computers or online tools are not the basic sources.

I agree..there was fun, cooperation, challege..we were all flowed..too focused to think of time...I'm not sure whether we were cognitively engaged :-), but we had total motivation to do the same things again and again...

Computer games are the most common tools to keep us "flowed". So, What makes a good computer game?

As I was reading about call of duty and flow, I again recognised that there is a distinct difference among genders ;)

My father has been playing bridge online. He is one of the late adopters to technology, yet, he plays bridge for hours and hours without realising what is happening around himself. He has played bridge online for 6000 hours since 2007. I just asked him "why are you playing", he said, "because I have fun" and "because it is challenging" and "I get points". Well, he just covered the flow theory and games :)

-Why are you doing this? -I just felt like running!

Kiewslovski movie! I especially like the scene when father and son calculate whether the son could skate safely or not. He has a great deal of curiosity and father leads his motivation via scientific methods;)

definitely Sinem :)) you summarized the kid's motivation and situation very well :))

* Mix and match the components of Flow; * Keep the user's experience within the user's Flow Zone; * Offer adaptive choices, allowing different users to enjoy the Flow in their own way; and * Embed choices inside the core activities to ensure the Flow is never interrupted.

This is a study conducted in Turkey for adapting a scale on Cognitive Absorption. As I understand it is a concept that takes into account absorption, cognitive engagement and flow as a framework. I wonder what other concepts might there be, that takes flow theory as a base, can be good to highlight.

"Flow is when tasks seem effortless, challenging, and rewarding - all at the same time."

A good illustration for flow.

That is the image Csikszentmihalyi showed and talked about it and I totally agree that the danger zone is "apathy" Most of the teachers should have experienced lots of problems with their students as they have apahty.

I guess everyone of us played that game with a very clear goal: to save the princess! There was a hidden power which kept us hours and hours playing that game, now we now what it is: Flow! :)

I really like the the part of implications for teachers. It make flow theory more clearer for me.
