This guidebook was designed to familiarize educational practitioners--teachers, developers, counselors, administrators--with several concepts of motivation and methods of measuring them. Six concepts, or approaches, that are particularly relevant to understanding motivation in education are considered: achievement motivation, locus of control, curiosity and arousal seeking, anxiety, general academic motivation, and motivation and attitude. For each of these concepts, a brief explanation is provided, together with a summary of principles, some suggestions for applying this knowledge, and descriptions of measurement instruments selected on the basis of their availability and applicability in an educational context. A bibliography is included. (Author/BBM)
