Motivation and School Learning

  • Chapter
International Handbook of Educational Research in the Asia-Pacific Region

Part of the book series: Springer International Handbooks of Education ((SIHE,volume 11))

Abstract

Research regarding motivation and learning in the Asia-Pacific region in the past four decades has been characterized by the search for similarities and differences across cultures, and by the search for models of motivation that reflect the distinctive cultural values of the region. In general, the research literature on motivation has followed recent theoretical shifts towards more cognitive, contextualized and culturally sensitive models of human development and learning. In addition, researchers are increasingly aware that motivation to learn and participate in educational processes is related to: (a) historical conditions such as the changing nature of the economy and employment opportunities, (b) cultural variations in values and traditions, and (c) intercultural exchanges associated with increasing mobility, migration and communication across national boundaries. These dynamic and interacting factors need to be considered when reviewing research on motivation.
