Linjia Zhang

Linjia Zhang is a Visiting PhD student at the Hector Research Institute of Education Sciences and Psychology, funded by the CSC-Tübingen PhD Program scholarship. 

 

Her research focuses on adolescent students’ motivation and perceived learning costs, investigating why certain students develop avoidance tendencies toward studying. Grounded in the situated expectancy-value theory (Eccles & Wigfield, 2020), her current work explores the developmental trajectory of cost beliefs and seeks to design targeted interventions that foster positive learning attitudes. 

 

Her goal is to help struggling students build a more engaging and meaningful connection with their education.
