Doctor of Education Dissertations

Factors Of Motivation In Education: Perspectives Of College Students And Their Professors, Caitlin Reash, Karen H. Larwin
Journal of Organizational & Educational Leadership

The Caring factor was the highest endorsed factor by both college students and faculty in all data collections.

These data can be used to inform programmatic decisions and course design in the university’s education department.
