Exploring the Optimal Use of Motivation Regulation Strategies for Academic Success

Fri, April 10, 1:45 to 3:15pm PDT (1:45 to 3:15pm PDT), Westin Bonaventure, Floor: Lobby Level, San Gabriel A

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

Motivation regulation (MR) is associated with increases in motivation, better learning, and higher performance. In theory, these associations are stronger for students who engage in optimal (vs. maladaptive) forms of regulation. Optimal regulation involves identifying motivational problems and concerns as they arise and selectively implementing strategies that address these problems in a task/context-appropriate manner. This symposium includes four empirical papers that examine the unique patterns of strategy use associated with optimal regulation in different contexts and the factors (such as motivational beliefs and metamotivational awareness) that may lead students to exhibit such patterns. Collectively, our findings provide new insights into MR as a dynamic, multistep, and multifaceted process.
