This volume has chapters from leading researchers and scholars on the state-of-the-art for different theoretical perspectives in motivation research. The chapters provide an overview of the leading social cognitive motivational theories and the current issues that these models and perspectives are
confronting at the edge of motivational science. There are chapters on self-efficacy theory, self-concept theory, goal theory, social motivation theory, motivation and cognition models, motivation and health, motivation and work, motivation and sports, and motivation and education.
This series is designed to reflect current research and theory concerned with motivation and achievement in work, school and play. Each volume focuses on a particular issue or theme and the series has a special goal of bringing the best in social science to bear on socially significant problems.

This series is aimed at graduate students in special education, educational psychology, and developmental and clinical psychology. Various contributors discuss basic theoretical positions and empirical findings within various professions which provide the foundation for research and
clinical/educational applications to exceptional children. Included are chapters covering aspects of cognition, perception, language, memory, attention, motivation and socialization, as well as chapters dealing with behaviourist, psychodynamic, piagetian and cross-cultural approaches to
understanding a typical development. Taken as a whole, this series identifies the important substantive constructs and concepts which provide the underpinnings for applied practice and research in special education and related fields.
The book provides significant insight into the factors that affect the careers of these scientists and, importantly, gives voice to the many men and women who overcame discrimination, prejudice, and racism to build successful scientific careers. Although 70 percent of those interviewed felt that
their careers had been hindered by discrimination, less than a handful expressed any regrets about choosing a career in chemistry. Remarkably, these chemists refused to allow racism to stifle their achievement. Although a disproportionate number of the chemists had their birth origins in the South,
however, most pursued their careers outside the region and branched out across the nation. Many of those individuals had profound impacts in both industrial and academic settings but this book also chronicles the hardships that many faced. This book provides the opportunity for a full range of
voices, from a number of perspectives, to be heard.

Volume 16 of "Advances in Motivation and Achievement" is presented in two books. In both books, leading researchers in the field review the current state of the knowledge in their respective sub-disciplines and offer their prognostications about where the research is likely to proceed in the decade
ahead. In this book, "Volume 16B", chapters examining the associations between motivation and other constructs, such as emotion and self-regulation, are presented. In addition, "Volume 16B" includes chapters examining sociocultural approaches to the study of motivation, the motivation of African
American students and teachers' motivation, the application of motivation research in classrooms, and the policy implications of motivation research. In the first book, "Volume 16A", seven prominent theories of motivation are examined, including research on self-efficacy, achievement goal theory,
expectancy-value theory, self-determination theory, self-concept research, implicit motives, and interest. By providing chapters that both summarize and look forward, the two books in this volume offer a useful roadmap for the future of motivation research in a variety of areas.

This volume presents studies that provide an in-depth look at the experiences of proteges and mentors during the mentoring process in higher education settings. Within the volume are studies examining the effects of mentoring on individuals as well as those examining the perceptions and experiences
of individuals involved in the mentoring process from the protégés and, in some cases, the mentors' perspectives. A major aspect of this volume is the true perspectives offered by many of the participants who were studied by the contributors to this volume. Their voices are real.

The way we think about things matters just as much as what we think about things.This timely text investigates the work of educational philosopher and psychologist Jerome Bruner through the areas of knowledge representation, meaning-making, education and dispute. What people represent to others
might not always be what they actually think. However, accepting this limitation, the aim of this book is to offer a means of examining representations about a given subject and an understanding of how those representations might change over time in response to learning, crisis, and encounter with
'other'.Myers offers an educational intervention that invites development of representations in response to difference. Presenting a new framework for examining controversy between worldviews and a method for creating space for difference, the book brings this into dialogue with education and
research, conflict resolution and religion. This framework maps representations and proposes a method of engaging the psychological processes involved in changing representations.An excellent resource of interest to researchers, professionals and postgraduate students alike in education, sociology
and philosophy related disciplines.
This is one of the first volumes that examined the process of mentoring specifically as it is related to effects on advancing diversity on underrepresented minority individuals in higher education settings. This volume presents definitions, concepts, models, and programs that address mentoring in
higher education. The contributing authors examined and presented the concept of mentoring from a number of perspectives, including mentoring models and approaches with the focus on enhancing diversity in higher education settings.
