Book excerpt: Few academic issues are of greater concern to teachers, parents, and school administrators than the academic motivation of the adolescents in their care. There are good reasons for this concern. Students who are academically motivated perform better in school, value their schooling, are future-oriented in their academic pursuits, and possess the academic confidence and positive feelings of self-worth so necessary to increasing academic achievement. Because academically motivated students engage their schoolwork with confidence and interest, they are less likely to drop out of school, suffer fewer disciplinary problems, and prove resilient in the face of setbacks and obstacles. It is precisely because academic motivation is so essential to academic achievement that motivation has taken a place along with cognition as one of the most followed lines of inquiry in educational psychology. In this volume, we are fortunate to gather together some of the most eminent scholars who have written extensively about the academic motivation of adolescents. We are fortunate also in that they represent the varied theories and lines of inquiry that currently dominate research in this area. In all, we believe that in the dozen chapters that comprise this volume, the authors provide elegant insights regarding the academic and social motivation of adolescents that will prove of interest to researchers, students, teachers, school administrators, parents, policymakers, and all others who play a pivotal role or are otherwise invested in the lives of adolescents in today's society. It is our hope that these insights will not only further the conversation on adolescence and education, but will serve as the impetus for further research capable of generating the creative ideas, programs, and structures so necessary to better the lives of the young people in our care.

Download or read book Stories of Hope Positive Future Orientation Possible Selves and Academic Achievement Motivation in Adolescence written by Mackenzie K. Abraham and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The concepts of future orientation and possible selves provide a means for understanding how future hopes inform motivational behavior among adolescents engaged in identity exploration. Limited research is available on the specific contribution of possible selves to achievement motivation during adolescent development. This study was designed to explore the relationship between future orientation and possible selves to broaden understanding of their unique roles in predicting academic achievement motivation for a sample of youth in southern California. It was hypothesized that positive future orientation and hoped for possible selves would predict academic achievement motivation, using narative descriptions of hoped for possible selves to mediate the influence of future orientation on academic acliievernent motivation. Results indicated significant correlation between positive future orientation and academic achievement motivation. The proposed mediation model could not be tested due to insignificant correlations among the remaining variables. Limitations of measurement and areas for future research are discussed.

Download or read book Academic Motivation and the Culture of Schooling written by Cynthia Hudley and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2008-07-30 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Decades of research indicate the important connections among academic motivation and achievement, social relationships, and school culture. However, much of this research has been conducted in homogenous American schools serving middle class, average achieving, Anglo-student populations. This edited volume will argue that school culture is a reflection of the society in which the school is embedded and comprises various aspects, including individualism, competition, cultural stereotypes, and extrinsically guided values and rewards. They address three specific conceptual questions: How do differences in academic motivation for diverse groups of students change over time? How do students' social cognitions influence their motivational processes and outcomes in school? And what has been done to enhance academic motivation? To answer this last question, the contributors describe empirically validated intervention programs for improving academic motivation in students from elementary school through college.
Download or read book Exploring Adolescent Perceptions of Achievement Motivation Through Participation in a High School Wide Summer Reading Initiative written by Kelly Anne McCool and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 139 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Poor adolescent achievement motivation is a problem of practice in education. Academic motivation generally decreases as adolescents reach high school. Educators continue to struggle with effectively motivating adolescents in the classroom. The purpose of this qualitative study was to explore adolescent achievement motivation, engagement and socialization through the implementation of a high school wide summer reading initiative. Through the use of adolescent focus groups, individual interviews and document analysis, interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA) was conducted to understand adolescent perspectives on adolescent achievement motivation. The findings revealed four distinct universal themes related to achievement motivation including: meaningfulness of tasks in terms of value of grades, a desire for efficacy or confidence, the importance of choice and personal interests and reliance on others for support including teachers, peers and parents.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The introduction of the psychological construct of self-efficacy is widely acknowledged as one of the most important developments in the history of psychology. Today, it is simply not possible to explain phenomena such as human motivation, learning, self-regulation, and accomplishment without discussing the role played by self-efficacy beliefs. In this, the fifth volume of our series on adolescence and education, we focus on the self-efficacy beliefs of adolescents. We are proud and fortunate to be able to bring together the most prominent voices in the study of self-efficacy, including that of the Father of Social Cognitive Theory and of self-efficacy, Professor Albert Bandura. It is our hope, and our expectation, that this volume will become required reading for all students and scholars in the areas of adolescence and of motivation and, of course, for all who play a pivotal role in the education and care of youth.
