Motivation energizes and directs actions, and so it has great relevance to many important developmental outcomes such as school achievement, ...

We focus on the competence-related belief, value, goal, interest, and intrinsic aspects of motivation that have been emphasized in much of the ...

We emphasize information books in science and other domains because this is the main reading diet in secondary school. Students' academic success and future depend on coping successfully with the subject matters and challenges of information text. Yet educators often neglect to teach this vital zone of specialized literacy.

The authors review the extant research on these constructs and describe and compare many of the most frequently used measures of these constructs. They also discuss their development during childhood and adolescence. They review the research on the relations of these constructs to achievement outcomes, and their relations to each other both contiguously and over time. Suggestions for future research include testing theoretically derived predictions about how students’ achievement values, goal orientations, and interest together predict various achievement outcomes; and examining how their relations with one another become established and change over time.
