Decades of research indicate the important connections among
academic motivation and achievement, social relationships, and
school culture. However, much of this research has been conducted
in homogenous American schools serving middle class, average
achieving, Anglo-student populations. This edited volume will argue
that school culture is a reflection of the society in which the
school is embedded and comprises various aspects, including
individualism, competition, cultural stereotypes, and extrinsically
guided values and rewards. They address three specific conceptual
questions: How do differences in academic motivation for diverse
groups of students change over time? How do students' social
cognitions influence their motivational processes and outcomes in
school? And what has been done to enhance academic motivation? To
answer this last question, the contributors describe empirically
validated intervention programs for improving academic motivation
in students from elementary school through college.
