Lapka, Dominik; Wagner, Petra; Schober, Barbara; Gradinger, Petra; Spiel, Christiane – Journal of MultiDisciplinary Evaluation, 2011

Consequently, existing differential effects will…

In this article, we argue for a change in how researchers study motivation to learn. We believe that research can provide better explanations of the origins and outcomes of behavior, and thus be more useful, if we focus on how motivation develops and why it changes. We suggest reframing motivation research in education by extending the current…
