Abstract
The article focuses on understanding the factors that influence teen motivation in learning. It discusses the Situated Expectancy-Value Theory, which posits that motivation is shaped by three key questions: "Can I do this?", "Do I want to do this?", and "What are the costs?" The author emphasizes the importance of building confidence through study skills, setting goals, and recognizing rewards to enhance motivation. Additionally, it highlights the role of parents in supporting their teens' learning processes and helping them navigate the costs associated with their choices. [Extracted from the article]
