bonus motivation readings

Educational Psychologist is a great journal that provides research syntheses summarizing and interpreting a body of research. Over the past 12 months that journal has published two things that may be of special interest to some of you:

The Summer 2008 issue contained an article titled: How does motivation develop and why does it change? Reframing motivation research written by Julianne Turner and Helen Patrick. This is an interesting piece definitely worth a read.

The Fall 2007 issue was completely devoted to the theme of: Motivation at School: Interventions that Work. That issue contains 7 articles.

I've provided a link below where you can download the Turner & Patrick article, plus all 7 articles from the special issue on motivation. These are offered as an optional only download.
