When we find our work to be meaningful, we are often more motivated to tackle that work...this also true for students and their academic work! In this workshop, we will discuss key elements of motivation as they relate to student learning and consider how we can help students finding meaning in their academic work. After participating in this workshop, participants should be able… (1) to describe the role of student motivation in their learning, (2) to identify the various factors that influence student motivation, (3) to identify the potential benefits of meaningful assignments for students.
