Abstract

In this chapter, the author introduces the concepts of academic motivation and engagement. Past research has shown that there is a difference between motivation and engagement and how they play significant roles in an academic learning process. This chapter brings to light that a lot of research has taken place in the high school years identifying the significance of motivation and engagement of students. When students move into their college years, the roles of motivation and engagement become further crucial in the learning process because the success at the end of these years unlocks a plethora of opportunities to enhance their career prospects. An understanding of the dynamics of student academic motivation would have practical implications for teachers and school administrators in guiding students towards learning.
