    Abstract

    This chapter picks up on some of the critical findings and recommendations around the significance of mastery goal orientation and a sense of ‘purpose in schooling’ for student motivation and engagement in the work of McInerney. In particular, the chapter explores classroom approaches that are strongly aligned with McInerney’s extensive application of Personal Investment Theory, especially as it applies to Indigenous students in Australia (McInerney & Liem, 2009). With its emphasis on mixed methods, the chapter also offers a methodological extension on McInerney’s quantitative and qualitative research across both Personal Investment and Facilitating Conditions (McInerney, Dowson & Yeung, 2005).
