Sociocultural Theories of Learning and Motivation: Looking Back, Looking Forward (Research on Sociocultural Influences on Motivation and Learn)

It is now nearly thirty years since sociocultural theories of learning created great excitement and debate amongst those concerned with learning in diverse contexts. Since that time significant advances have been made in sociocultural theory and research. Various sociocultural approaches to the understanding of learning (for example, sociocultural psychology, sociocultural discourse, cultural historical activity theory) have been developed and consolidated and new challenges are currently being addressed. In the motivational arena sociocultural approaches deriving from Vygotsky have only begun to emerge relatively recently. In this Volume we examine and evaluate the achievements of past sociocultural theory and research, and consider the future directions of sociocultural theory and research in the domains of learning and motivation.

Psychology of Motivation: How Your Mind Influences Your Behaviour (PsychologyOf.ca) (Volume 1)

Motivation is the lifeblood of your dreams, goals and achievements. Without it, you cannot get what you want.

The problem is, you might not understand how it works, or know how to tap into it instantaneously. You could be a victim of its sporadic appearance rather than the master of its manifestation.

What would happen if you had full control of your motivation?

How much more would you be able to accomplish?

How much further would you be able to go? How much better would your life become?

In the Psychology of Motivation, you will learn the ins and outs of motivation – what it is, how it works and how to control it. By the end of the book, you will have the insights, knowledge and tools to consistently fuel your progress towards success. There will be nothing that can stop you… except yourself.
