Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Academic motivation is a vital component of a child's or adolescent's academic success. Motivation drives learning, and when students are motivated, they are more likely to be engaged in their learning, persist through challenging tasks, and achieve their academic goals. Therefore, it is important to understand the factors that contribute to academic motivation and how to enhance it. The purpose of this call for papers is to solicit original research on the academic motivation of children and adolescents.
María Elena Parra González has a PhD in Models of Teaching–Learning and Development of Educational Institutions and is Professor in the Department of Research Methods and Diagnosis in Education at the University of Granada. Her lines of research are teaching innovation, teacher training, active methodologies, and the transformation of contexts and learning.
