OU MOVE Lab

The mission of the MOVE Lab is to build a bridge between in and out of school learning. We aim to implement cutting edge research and statistical methodologies to investigate cognitive and motivational factors involved with engagement in all contexts, with a particular focus on transfer to everyday life settings. We hope to not only generate a greater understanding of educational psychology theory but to make an impact on the lives of teachers and learners.

Motivation

Developing a greater understanding of student motivation.

Out of School

Investigating the unique characteristics of learning and motivation in out-of-school contexts.

Value

Demonstrating that value is an integral component of motivation and achievement.

Engagement

Facilitating deep engagement and studying the resulting impact on learning.
