From External Regulation to Musical Identity: A Self-Determination Theory Perspective on Piano Learning Persistence
High dropout rates in piano education have long been a concern, particularly during early learning stages and adolescence. Traditional instruction often relies on rewards, examinations, or punishments to stimulate motivation; however, existing research suggests that such externally regulated strategies may tend to support short-term compliance rather than long-term engagement. Drawing on Self-Determination Theory (SDT) (Deci & Ryan, 1985; Ryan & Deci, 2017), this paper conducts a literature-based analysis of motivation in piano learning, synthesizing findings from music education and educational psychology. Through this review, the study explores how long-term learning persistence is supported by the internalization of motivation and identifies key components of sustained motivation, including autonomy support, emotional experience, self-regulation, and a long-term perspective. Rather than proposing a new model, the paper integrates existing research to articulate a conceptual understanding of how motivation develops beyond rewards and punishments and gradually forms a stable musical identity. Implications for piano pedagogy are discussed.

The Facilitating Effect of Iconic Gestures on Noun Memory for Chinese Learners of German: Theoretical Mechanisms and Research Prospects
Memorizing German nouns is a core challenge for Chinese learners of German. Iconic gestures, as a crucial practical vehicle of embodied cognition theory, offer a new perspective for solving this problem. Based on embodied cognition theory, cognitive processes are rooted in bodily experience, and multimodal learning, especially the integration of gestures, provides a new pathway for vocabulary acquisition. This article systematically reviews the theoretical foundations, mechanisms of action, and current research status of iconic gestures in German noun learning. Although existing studies confirm that iconic gestures can facilitate foreign language vocabulary learning, there is a lack of systematic investigation specifically regarding their role in noun memory for Chinese learners of German. By analyzing the limitations of traditional teaching, the theoretical evolution of embodied cognition, and empirical evidence for gesture-based teaching, this article reveals the facilitating effects of iconic gestures on noun memory through mechanisms such as multisensory integration, semantic binding, and motor encoding. The study further points out that future research needs to focus on the specificity of gestures in German acquisition for native Mandarin speakers and empirically test the comprehensive utility of gestures for the memory of holistic noun information (including meaning and grammatical gender), to provide a theoretical basis for constructing a multimodal vocabulary teaching model suitable for Chinese learners.
