“Giving students access to meaningful choice by providing options that are culturally relevant, age‐relevant, and personalized and contextualized to students' lives will promote intrinsic motivation (Rose & Meyer, 2002)...To be intrinsically motivated to engage in a learning task, especially one that requires prolonged effort and focus, a student must feel that they are capable of achieving success and competence within that task (Deci & Ryan, 1985)...To experience an optimal challenge, students should be provided with choices of intermediate difficulty, as determined by each student's abilities and developmental level (Katz & Assessor, 2007).” (p.89) “To help ensure students can fully benefit from the provision of autonomy‐supportive, competence‐enhancing choice, teachers can try to ensure students have a sufficiently restricted set of options and sufficient time to choose among them.” (p.90)
