DESCRIPTION:This seminar will present evidence suggesting that chance-base
 d uncertainty has been overlooked in understanding motivation in the class

 concept can help explain the motivation provided by computer games and the
  difficulties many children experience\, particularly boys\, in directing 
 their attention towards their academic studies.\n
