Sociocultural Origins and Processes of Student Motivation: Advancing Theory, Informing Research, and Transforming Practice

Sat, April 11, 7:45 to 9:15am PDT (7:45 to 9:15am PDT), Westin Bonaventure, Floor: Level 2, Beverly

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

As a critical driver of learning and performance, academic motivation does not develop in a vacuum. Effectively fostering it requires a critical understanding of the sociocultural contexts in which learners are embedded. This symposium convenes leading scholars in the field of motivation to examine the sociocultural factors (“what”) and processes (“how”) shaping key motivational constructs. Presentations address two guiding questions: How do influences from families, teachers, peers, and broader societal systems shape student motivation? And what are the implications of these influences for motivational theory, empirical inquiry, and educational practice? By integrating diverse theoretical perspectives, this session advances culturally responsive research agendas and offers novel insights into the ways sociocultural contexts shape student motivation, learning, and achievement across cultures globally.
