With learning being the prime objective of education, a crucial part of the process is student attention to stimuli, or information provided for processing. Attention is a multidimensional concept, influenced by numerous factors. A key linking one, engulfing the academic literature over the past 30 years, is motivation. Theories abound and there are recurring literature references to how this study area should be unified meaningfully, with associated areas like attention. Motivated attention is in its operational infancy and multicultural aspects of this process have yet to surface in the literature. The following chapter, therefore, centres on areas of attention and motivation important to education, with particular consideration to the salient multi-cultural factors that have been associated with these areas. Understanding how to elicit attention and encouraging students to be motivated to work is a teacher’s greatest challenge. Discussion considers research that can guide policy and practice.
