My AR project is focused on motivation related to media and technology in the classroom. I started by looking at motivational journals and education. My Google search produced: Motivation in Education - a special Interest Group of AERA. They have lists of Resources Related to Motivation which I wish I had found before for my Literature Review. Their lists includes research, graduate programs with motivation focus, and journals that publish motivation-related articles. Most are psychology centered, but it might be interesting to check out some of these:
Society for the Study of Motivation - they have conferences and a journal called Motivation and Emotion
Patterns of Adaptive Learning Study (PALS) - University of Michigan program combining Education and Psychology *** This one meets my criteria! Their research emphasis is mine, too! However, I don't see anything about technology and motivation. Maybe this would be a good place to start a beachhead.
Association for Active Educational Researchers - Australia - has a seminar noted from 2009 that has material very similar to my research.
This could be one of those never-ending searches. So many places, so little time.
