Race-Reimaging Motivation in Education Research: Investigating Motivation Through Racialized and Cultural Perspectives

Tue, April 21, 12:25 to 1:55pm, Virtual Room

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

Race-reimaging in motivation research is examining race and culture as rich sociopolitical experiences (not only social group identifiers) that provide deep and nuanced meaning to the motivation constructs scholars consider central in teaching and learning. The five empirical papers in this symposium feature diverse motivational constructs (e.g., achievement goals, school belonging, expectancy-value); however, the authors examine these constructs through theoretical and methodological lenses that allow for a deep and authentic consideration of race and culture. This session offers compelling new insights that preserve the integrity of seminal motivational research while also refining and unpacking these constructs in ways that highlight the cultural assets and nuances of social groups that have been historically disenfranchised within education and education research.
