Longitudinal studies in motivation
Sharon:
I have not done much research in this area, but I can speak from my experience with today's students, who like content that is current and learning activities that are highly interactive relating to topical issues based on their prior reading/experience/ local or societal issue. So, I don't think "motivation" necessarily builds over time. I presented at last year's Scholarship of Teaching and Learning conference in Indiana, U.S. with the theme on "motivation" for both students and teachers. I hope that the attached can be helpful in answering your question.
Many thanks,
DFJ.

Yes, I have come across several students who make great strides in motivation to study! Have a look at this paper. All the best.
