An Exploration of Motivational Strategies Used by Library Media Specialists During Library and Information Skills Instruction.

Small, Ruth V.

School Library Media Research, v2 1999

Examines motivational strategies used by library media specialists (LMSs) in library and information skills instruction, and the resulting on- and off-task behaviors of students. Results indicate that LMSs use mostly attention-focusing strategies, middle school LMSs utilize more strategies than elementary LMSs, and extrinsic motivators are more common than intrinsic motivators.
