HealthDay (3/4, Preidt) reports researchers followed “1,670 students at 11 public high schools in central and northeastern Ohio…for two years” and found that “overall, the students’ motivation to learn improved during the study period.” During the study period, “the percentage of students who had no motivation to do well in school fell from nearly 3% in the first year to about 2% in the second year,” and “the percentage of students who were self-motivated to learn rose from 8% in the first year to over 11% in the second year.” The findings were published in the Journal of Educational Psychology.
