The intermediate data is called “derived data”, and this approach iscommon when the derived data is important in its own right, when there are several possibledifferent analyses that must be applied to the derived data, or when it is useful to access it fordebugging and verification purposes. In these circumstances, it is tempting to save the deriveddata for later processing by other programs. This is dangerous since changes to the original datafile will not be reflected in the saved derived data, complicating re-versioning of both theoriginal data and the program used to create the derived data.

But, in general, supportive conditions include aperson’s feelings of autonomy, relatedness, and competence, accompanied by a sense of interestand value.Student motivation to learn new information is also tied to student engagement in the learningprocess. Similar to motivation, the term engagement has been defined in several different ways.According to Barkley, students who are engaged in the learning process “really care about whatthey’re learning; they want to learn” and they “exceed expectations and go beyond what isrequired.” These statements reflect a view of engagement that is rooted in motivation theory.Barkley also describes student engagement with statements

, INSET’s success lies in recognizing the importance of involving CCfaculty in all aspects of program planning and execution. In particular, CC faculty’s input hasbeen key to the design of appropriate student activities, which are non-threatening, motivating,and which address the particular needs of CC students, while providing an environment thatoffers them greater opportunity to prosper and succeed. CC faculty also play a particularlycrucial role in identifying and recruiting high-potential candidates, especially those whose gradesmay not reflect their abilities and initiative. It is thanks to their encouragement and support thatthese students, who often lack both self-confidence and role models, are led to view INSET asnot only valuable but also
