67.047 - Motivation Interventions Proven to Work in K–12 Classrooms: Improving Students' Value, Confidence, Self-Regulation, and Satisfaction

Mon, April 8, 4:10 to 6:10pm, Sheraton Centre Toronto Hotel, Floor: Second Floor, Dominion Ballroom North

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

The field of motivation science has witnessed a dramatic increase in the efforts to improve the motivation of real students in real educational contexts. These interventions have generally been effective, as documented in a recent meta-analysis (Lazowski & Hulleman, 2016). Still, much remains to be learned about how to translate various theoretical tenets and research findings into practical instructional strategies (see Rosenzweig & Wigfield, 2016). In this symposium, the design features, procedures, and effects of five motivation interventions—all conducted with K-12 students and each designed with a different theoretical framework—will be introduced. With a stimulating discussion by our discussant, a leading motivation scholar, the symposium will help the audience generate new ideas for designing their own motivation interventions.
