Motivation for Achievement: Possibilities for Teaching and Learning
The real beauty of Alderman's book is the absence of any notion that 'one-size fits all'. Instead, readers are offered a tool-kit from which to select the practices they feel appropriate for their classroom and/or specific individuals within those classrooms....this book provides an invaluable summary of most of the major themes in motivational research in applied educational settings.—The Psychology of Education ReviewThis book does an excellent job of translating theoretical principles and constructs into practical ideas and suggestions that can be used by teachers. I find this book to be a unique resource for courses that have an applied focus because it takes the practical focus most seriously.—Allan WigfieldUniversity of MarylandThis second edition represents a solid update of new developments in the area and contributes significantly to the field of academic motivation. The prose is extremely user-friendly, and it is clear that Kay Alderman is in command of the tone which makes the book accessible to the intended audience.—Frank PajaresEmory University--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
