Abstract | Changing the school environment to enhance student motivation and achievement is described in this paper, which focuses on broad structural change within the school. Current motivation theory is applied at the school level for lasting school reform. A collaborative project among university researchers, school leaders, and school staff in one elementary and one middle school in a school district with a large at-risk student population is described. The objective was to emphasize task over performance in each school, which involved a qualitative change in the nature of the learning environment. Although school staffs' impatience for immediate action and results created tension between researchers and site staff, project outcomes suggest the feasibility of using a model based on a goal theory framework for organizational change. Crucial factors to increase student motivation include organizational change at the school level and leadership development. Two tables are included. (27 references) (LMI) |
