How do students regulate their motivation across time? 🤔
We followed students week by week to examine planned motivational regulation strategies and which ones matter for achievement. We also show how these strategies are interconnected, with some acting as catalysts for others over time.

🤓Do students take context into account when planning how to study?

We examine how students plan their use of cognitive vs. motivational learning strategies, and whether they take learning context into account. They do, but mainly for cognitive strategies.

In our new open access paper we find that motivation regulation can often act as a buffer on cost except when things get too costly😮‍💨 Check out how the different dimensions of cost play out 👀
