Chantal Levesque-Bristol studies student motivation and learning in higher education, drawing heavily on self-determination theory (a framework about how autonomy, competence, and social support drive motivation). Her work examines how course design, teaching practices, and psychological needs affect students' achievement, engagement, and dropout, particularly in STEM, nursing, and teacher education settings. Much of her research involves course transformation programs aimed at improving student-centered teaching at scale.
