Abstract | Enticing students to expand their knowledge of aging-related issues and careers can be fraught with challenges. Intrinsic and curricula-related factors associated with pursuit of aging-related careers have been identified, but little evidence exists demonstrating the effectiveness of external factors at motivating students to learn more about gerontological practice. This brief report presents findings from a survey of 214 students enrolled in at a single university in the mid-west to assess how likely they would be motivated to learn more about aging by twelve possible incentives with additional opportunities to write in other thoughts. Credit toward required field work, financial incentives such as stipends, scholarships, tuition waivers, and raffles were the most frequently mentioned incentives. Some variation was noted based on race/ethnicity, age, and program of study. Themes emerging from other suggestions provided by students included curricula enhancements, employment incentives, and the suggestion that nothing could entice some students. Findings can be used by scholars in program development and funding requests. |
