Paul Pintrich: A Once and Continuing Influence

Abstract

This article provides an integrative perspective on the articles presented in this special issue. It is also a very personal perspective. In such small space it is impossible to do justice fully to Paul's work or to the reflections on that work. What this final article attempts is a statement that emphasizes the scope and depth of this work as perceived, especially stressing the impact that it has, and will continue to have, for education and psychology for years to come.
