AboutAbout the lab
Exploring motivation to learn through the classroom environment.
In this lab, Professor Motoyuki Nakaya studies educational psychology, in particular the motivational processes of children, students, and university students, and the classroom and cultural environments that support them.
Rather than viewing learning merely as an intellectual activity, the lab is interested in the mechanisms of learning and motivation that are formed socially and contextually.
In recent years, the lab has focused on classrooms where diverse children, including children with roots in other countries, learn together, and has conducted longitudinal surveys in elementary schools, among other work.
