PhD: Processes of Learning and Motivation from Psychological Perspectives

This project will look at processes of learning and motivation from psychological perspectives, or be interdisciplinary and draw on other Social Science traditions. It can take a lifespan approach and cover any stage of development from infancy to senescence, or include the whole lifespan. Learning and motivation can be studied in formal or informal settings; schools, colleges, university, the workplace, home or other environments. It can consider individual differences in learning styles and motivational patterns or even examine whole systems of education.
