Strategies for identifying and creating sources of student motivation
Student motivation is a critical ingredient for success in any baccalaureate course. A central theory in the science of motivation is Deci’s and Ryan’s self-determination theory. This theory posits that if students have an enhanced sense of autonomy, competence, and relatedness, then they will have high levels of motivation to learn. The present workshop will be divided into main sessions focusing on enhancing student motivation via Course-Based Research Experiences (CREs). This interactive session will provide methods by which instructors can better discern motivating factors of students. The session will conclude with a group discussion on best practices to create and assess motivational sources in the course.

Relating student motivation to a course-based research experience
This session will focus on defining critical components of a CRE and incorporating motivational factors into authentic research in a university course. Additionally, this session will allow for brainstorming on how to integrate multiple disciplines into a CRE.
