Research interests
My main research focus is the relationship between motivation and
learning, and how this relationship develops over time. Current projects
include investigations of how motivation develops differently depending
on the learneršs interpretation of their social context for learning. A
second interest is in assessment in schools, and the effects of various
policies and practices on teacher and student motivation.
