Several researchers have affirmed the relationship between motivation and learning. In addition, they have shown that an instructor's intentional efforts toward promoting motivation can be effective. In a 2016 meta-analysis, for example, the authors reviewed research on intervention studies that were grounded in motivation theory, such as achievement emotions, achievement goals, attribution, expectancy-value, goal setting, implicit theories of intelligence (mindsets), interest, need for achievement, possible selves, self-affirmation, self-confrontation, self-determination, self-efficacy, social belongingness, and transformative experience. They examined studies from all educational levels, including 57 studies at the college/university/postsecondary level. They found that interventions were generally effective at improving motivation and increasing learning outcomes (Lazowski & Hulleman, 2016). Their research provides faculty with documentation that efforts toward enhancing motivation can improve engagement and learning outcomes.
