Through interviews with a selection of the most qualified and
well-reputed Northern European researchers, Understanding Learning
and Motivation in Youth explores, and offers a range of solutions
to, one of the central problems in modern education: motivation for
learning. The way that teaching is currently delivered to students
aged 11-19 often does not support positive learning; the ongoing
encouragement to produce as much competence as possible at the
lowest possible costs elicits critical conditions for learning
processes, endangering not only the motivation of students, but
also the engagement and motivation of teachers themselves. This
book examines how this can be handled in practice by teachers and
educators, drawing on the perspectives of carefully selected
experts to provide an introduction to the debates surrounding
neoliberal education, as well as a means to counteract the damages
in their everyday teaching and activities. With an original and
accessible format and a unique insight into the thoughts of a
select group of academics, Understanding Learning and Motivation is
essential reading for students, researchers and academics studying
the effects of neoliberal education, as well as practicing teachers
and educational leaders who are attempting to combat the problem.
