Pulling Back the Curtain in Self-Access: Stories of Student Staff Member Motivation
About this book
What motivates student staff members (SSMs) who work in self-access centres (SACs)? Pulling Back the Curtain in Self-Access takes readers inside these unique learning spaces in Japanese universities to explore this question through vivid personal narratives. Drawing on interviews and narrative inquiry, Christopher Phelps examines what drives SSMs to begin and sustain their roles, whether it's the desire to help others, develop language skills, or build meaningful social connections. By situating these stories within the framework of Self-Determination Theory, the book illuminates how autonomy, competence, and relatedness shape students' motivation and well-being.
