MSP-MAP II: Teacher Motivation in Professional Development
MSP-MAP II is systematically applying current work on teacher motivation to the domain of teacher PD with the following goals: (1) developing a knowledge base of motivation theory, research and assessment that is relevant for the PD process;
(2) developing and making available a suite of motivation-related reliable and valid assessment tools for MSP projects to use for formative and summative evaluation;
(3) collaborating with MSP projects to test and refine the proposed model of motivation in teacher PD;
(4) facilitating the incorporation of the model and motivation-related PD assessment tools into existing and future MSP logic models and evaluation designs; and
(5) disseminating the PD model and assessment tools to the broader teaching and research communities.
Through its systematic study, surveying more than 2,000 teachers, MSP-MAP II is contributing to the growing theoretical and empirical literature on teacher motivation, particularly in regard to expectancy-value, achievement goals and interest theories.
