Description
This course covers a range of contemporary perspectives on motivation that address questions such as what makes students want to achieve highly and engage deeply in learning, what makes students want to study certain subjects over others and what makes anyone want to do anything at all. Students will examine contemporary psychological approaches to motivation theory and research as well as practical applications of these principles to educational settings. Topics include values and attitudes, creativity, flow, choice, rewards, punishment, and passion.
