Abstract
Recent suggestions that sociocultural theory provides new insights into motivation have spurred research addressing a broad range of questions. This symposium brings together researchers conducting novel empirical work on achievement motivation from a sociocultural perspective. It will include important conceptual and methodological issues encountered in participants’ on-going research, including:
• Shift in the unit of analysis
• Role of identity in motivation
