Michel, Yvonne A.; Steinmayr, Ricarda; Frenzel, Anne C.; Ziegler, Matthias – Educational Psychology, 2022
Achievement motivation scores on the domain-specific level are better predictors of domain-matching scholastic performance than scores of general achievement motivation measures. Although there is research on domain-specific motivational measures, it is still unknown where this higher predictive power originates from. To address this, 715 students…

Jeff Irvine – Journal of Instructional Pedagogies, 2023
The Pirie-Kieren Model (PKM) was a paradigm shift in theories of learning by presenting a coherent, consistent theory compatible with complexity theory. PKM recognized that learning is non-linear, recursive, iterative, and emergent. PKM was one of the first theories to depart from the linear models of learning that dominated theories of learning…
