A Three-Pronged Approach to Helping Students Internalize APA Style Based in Self-Determination Theory
Daniels, Lia M.; Kennedy, Kathleen E.
Canadian Journal for the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning, v10 n2 Article 9 Aug 2019
The Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (APA) is an invaluable resource for students and faculty members in the social sciences. However, many students and researchers fail to recognize the value of APA style in supporting writing excellence. In this research note we describe an innovative pedagogical approach to APA style that is rooted in self-determination theory. We provide preliminary retrospective evidence of internalization through students' responses to questionnaire items and a student's personal reflection.
