Description
"One of the greatest challenges facing education today is to find more effective and efficient ways to support the learning of highly complex knowledge...Our discussion begins with a definition of complexity and a description of current motivation theory. We then go on to describe five different research areas where task complexity may interfere with the motivational processes that support learning. Where possible, we will also describe the evidence for ways to overcome motivational problems."
