Research
My research program contains two complementary lines of research. First, I investigate the dynamics and complexities of students’ classroom experiences of motivation, emotion and engagement in K-16 STEM settings. Second, because motivation is a dynamic process, I seek to advance the use of intensive longitudinal methodologies for research and intervention in educational contexts. The goal of these lines of research is to advance motivation theory in order to inform practice and support students in their pursuit of academic goals, particularly in STEM domains.
