• In Event: Developing and Motivating Students

Abstract

This study examined the role of faculty in fostering students’ academic motivation using data from the Wabash National Study. Results suggest that several good teaching practices and interactions with students were associated with increased academic motivation, and that these relationships were moderated by students’ precollege academic achievement.
