On the second episode of the NECC Now Podcast, Dave Palmer, Jason Bourret, and Western New England graduate students discuss Edwards et al. (2019), a recent article in which a reconceptualization of the motivating operation concept is proposed. We talk about the defining features of the motivating operation concept, the proposed change, implications, and our read on the justification.
