In my role as the chair of the Society of Biblical Literature Academic Teaching and Biblical Studies section, I’ve helped to organized a panel discussion on “Motivation and Learning in Biblical Studies.”
“This session will begin with a panel presentation of the major ideas of Daniel Pink’s Book “Drive: The Surprising Truth about What Motivates Us.” The session will then provide ample time for participants to discuss potential applications of motivation principles to our Biblical Studies courses. For an introduction to Daniel Pink’s ideas, see: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u6XAPnuFjJc“
