The Student Success Project will be running a series of mini seminars over the spring and summer terms.
The Student Success team are delighted to invite all staff to the first Student Success mini seminar. The seminar will focus on “Student Motivation” by Stephen Earl.
Wednesday 15 February 2017, Medway Campus, Medway Building Room M1-22 1pm – 2pm
Friday 17 February 2017, Canterbury Campus, Grimond Building, GS3, 1pm – 2pm
Please feel free to bring along your lunch and join in the discussion. The purpose of the event is to share details about student motivation at Kent and to allow colleagues from across the University to meet and exchange ideas.
The seminar will provide an overview of research undertaken in the School of Sport and Exercise Sciences as part of the Student Success Project. The research takes a psychological perspective to student success, investigating how students’ motivation and experiences at university may influence their attainment, engagement and well-being. Underpinned by self-determination theory (Deci & Ryan, 2000), this work also considers factors that may influence students’ autonomous learning, feelings of competence, and sense of relatedness at university. The aim of the research is to identify how students’ motivation may differ between student groups so we as an institution can better support students’ motivation at university.
All staff are invited to attend.
