Distinguished Professor Honored with SRA Outstanding Mentor Award

1/10/2020

 
The Society for Research on Adolescence (SRA) will honor Distinguished Professor of Education Jacquelynne Eccles with its 2020 SRA Outstanding Mentor Award.

The award is given to those who exhibit "exceptional contributions to the field in general, and to SRA in particular, through mentoring the next generation of researchers focused on adolescence and the transition to adulthood."

“Dr. Eccles is a leader in the field of adolescent psychology, but more than that, she has made an indelible impact on the lives of hundreds of aspiring doctoral students, junior faculty, and emerging scholars,” said Richard Arum, dean and professor at the UCI School of Education.

"I am so honored by this award," Eccles said. "Mentoring students, postdoctoral scholars and junior scholars has always been my greatest professional joy, and I have been blessed with many wonderful mentees over my career."

Eccles’s research focuses on gender-role socialization, teacher expectancies, classroom influences on student motivation, and social development in the family and school context. ​

One of the leading developmental scientists of her generation, Eccles has made seminal contributions to the study of achievement-related decisions and development. Most notably, her expectancy-value theory of motivation and her concept of stage-environment have served as perhaps the most dominant models of achievement during the school years, contributing to extensive research and reform efforts to improve the nature of secondary school transitions. 

Eccles will receive the Outstanding Mentor Award at the 2020 SRA Biennial Meeting - From Genome to Globe - March 19-21 in San Diego, California.
