Library Journal review

Goslin was formerly the president and CEO of the American Institutes for Research (AIR) in the behavioral sciences and executive director of the National Research Council's Commission on Behavioral and Social Sciences and Education (CBASSE). The central message of his important study is that motivation and engagement in the learning process are key to academic achievement. Contending that lack of student engagement is the central obstruction to real learning, Gosling provides here a concrete and readable guide to understanding the forces shaping students' motivation, ultimately stressing that it really stems from hard work. Drawing heavily on current research, the author backs up his arguments with ample examples and offers commonsense suggestions on how to improve current practices in order to improve the quality of elementary and secondary education in the United States. Thoughtful, timely, and compelling, this study will serve as a great reference for further research in the field and is recommended not only for educators but for parents and teachers as well.-Samuel T.
