Respond to the following prompt in a minimum of 175 words.
As discussed, this week, a model that is helpful to motivate organizational training and learning
is through the use of the Expectancy–Value–Cost Model of Motivation. The video in Topic 11.4
discusses how this model’s framework may be used to predict learning success based on factors
of the learner’s motivation. Reflect on your own motivation for learning by sharing a skill you
have wanted to learn or a skill that you want to improve. It can be something as simple as
creating and maintaining a gym routine or learning how to use Microsoft Excel for your job
role. Consider how you would weigh the expectancy and value of learning this new skill against
the cost.
With this situation in mind, respond to the following with a minimum of 175 words:

situation?
