“…Looking at belongingness instead of merely social relations, in a one-year follow-up longitudinal study [9], fifth-grade students' school belongingness was found to relate to their achievement goal orientation. In a similar study, college students' social relations and attachment to the school were also found to relate to academic motivation [10].…”

Abstract:(1) Background: The Teacher and student community plays an important role in students' academic development. Previous studies showed that students' academic success is influenced by their social relations in school. This study extended to use a mix of social network analysis and survey methodology to understand how eighth-grade students' network and perceived teacher's support relate to their academic motivation. (2) Methods: A total of 95 eighth graders with the same teacher in a middle school in the southeastern United States were recruited. (3) Results: Results showed that the number of friendship nominations received (i.e., in-degree), degree centrality and betweenness centrality significantly correlated with higher academic motivation. In addition, a regression model analysis showed that perceived teacher's support, together with more friendship nominations, predicted higher academic motivation.

“…Many gender differences in adolescent goal content have been reported. Girls commonly report a greater number or greater importance of interpersonal goals/hopes (Anderman & Anderman, 1999;Chang et al, 2006;Kasser & Ryan, 1993;Kasser, Ryan, Zax & Sameroff, 1995;Lanz & Rosnati, 2002;Malmberg & Norrgård, 1999;Nurmi, 1994;Nurmi & Pulliainen, 1991;Nurmi et al, 1999), and fears (Knox et al, 2000;Nurmi, Poole & Seginer, 1995). Conversely, boys rate social status (Ander-man & Anderman, 1999), becoming successful (Nurmi et al, 1999) and financial aspirations as more important (Kasser & Ryan, 1993).…”

a b s t r a c tThe aim of this article is to provide an overview and discussion of the literature from various areas of psychology on adolescent goal content and pursuit since the publication of Nurmi's review in 1991. Ninety-four studies were identified which incorporated a measure of adolescent goal content/processes. We explore and discuss the theories employed in these studies, methods of goal measurement, and the findings presented in the studies. Adolescent goal content and pursuit appear to be influenced by various sociodemographic and psychological factors. In turn, goal content, goal pursuit and (un)successful goal attainment are related to adolescent behavior, health and well-being. Limitations and suggestions for further research are discussed.

“…This study therefore, investigated the (i) effect of personalization of instruction on students" motivation to learn mathematics word problems and (ii) effect of gender on motivation to learn mathematics word problems. Gender was included as a variable of interest in the present study because of its importance in mathematics education world-wide and more importantly differential findings of gender in previous researches on motivation exist (Anderman & Anderman, 1999, Anderman & Midgley, 1997Eccles, Wigfield, Harold, & Blumenfeld, 1993;Jacobs, Lanza, Osgood, Eccles, & Wigfield , 2002;Seidman, Allen, Aber, Mitchell & Feinman, 1994;Watt, 2004;Wigfield, Eccles, Mac Iver, Reuman & Midgley, 1991). Boys may be more likely than girls to endorse personal ability goals (Anderman & Midgley, 1997).…”

This study investigated the effect of personalisation of instruction on the motivation to learn mathematics word problems of 450 senior secondary students in Nigeria within the blueprint of quasiexperimental research of Solomon Four non-equivalent control group design. It also examined the influence of gender on motivation to learn mathematics word problems and personalisation was accomplished by incorporating selected information with students" personal preferences into their mathematics word problems. Motivation to learn mathematics word problems was measured by the mathematics word problems motivation questionnaire and data collected for the study were analysed using the independent samples t-test and one way ANOVA. The results showed significant main effect of personalization of instruction on students" motivation to learn mathematics word problems whereas no significant main effect of gender was found on the dependent measure.
