Theoretical Perspective

The theory that I will use is temporal motivation theory. It was developed by
Piers Steel and Cornelius J. König and it was used to study and explain the
process that someone takes about a behavior or decision made. This theory
indicates that people are inclined to give priority to those activities or tasks
they believe are with a high importance and tend to procrastinate others
which they perceive have low utility. As applied to my topic, this theory
holds that I would expect my independent variable(s) are those tasks that
are perceived as tedious or are unlikable for some people to influence or
explain the dependent variable(s) about the delay presented when
individuals face activities to do because there is a lack of immediate
motivation cause a longer delay on taking action.

Theoretical Perspective

The theory that I will use is about motivation and the affectivity in the
learning and acquisition of a second language. It was developed by Verdia
(2010), Gardner (2007) and Bernaus, Wilson and Gardner (2009), among
other, and it was used to study to explain how the affective and motivational
factors that stimulate or discourage the developed of speaking skills in
English as a foreign language in the classroom of the middle-school. This
theory indicates that the role of motivation and affectivity in the process of
learning and acquisition of a second language. As applied to my topic, this
theory holds that I would expect my independent variable(s) like the
affective and motivational factors to influence or explain the dependent
variable(s) like developed of the speaking skill in English as foreign
language. because of some pressure or reward from the social environment,
internalized reasons for learning and L2 such as guilt or shame, and/or
personal decisions to do so and its value for the chosen goals.

Theoretical Perspective

The theory I will use is psychometrics. It was developed by Ernst Heinrich

Weber and Gustav Fechner, and was used to study. The field deals
with the objective measurement of skills and knowledge, skills,
attitudes, personality traits and educational achievements. Some
psychometric researchers focus on the construction and validation of
assessment instruments such as questionnaires, tests, evaluator
judgments and personality tests. Others focus on research related to
measurement theory (for example, item response theory, and
interclass correlation). This theory indicates that psychometrics has
been associated mainly with intelligence tests and achievement tests.
In psychometrics, much of the work is concerned with the
measurement of latent or unobserved traits and abilities. To
understand how to apply psychometrics in the educational context,
Wilson (2005) argues that a complete cycle production is necessary,
which included four fundamental elements: the construction map, the
design of the elements, the space of results and the measurement
model. It provides an explicit guiding framework for the researcher
who wishes to apply psychometric ideas in the evaluation. As applied
to my subject, this theory holds that I would expect the independent
variables how the use of materials and pedagogical resources will
benefit the learning process, would be according to the amount of
materials that students depend on per class or The purpose of using it
to influence or explain the dependent variable is to use tests to
diagnose learning or knowledge problems while in the field of
guidance, tests are used that measure skills, occupations, social,
academic, personality, interests, attitudes and values although the
latter is related or go hand in hand with the educational field.
Psychometrics expects to generate information for the solutions of the
case or problem, taking as reference the extraction of data from the
 meter. In addition, psychometry is based on the construction model, it
allows to understand in some way
