Current studies in innovation are often siloed to specific disciplines, precluding a generalizable understanding useful to understanding the factors that promote and hinder individual motivation to innovate. This study integrates analysis of 30 interviews and 500 surveys of Canadian innovators from a variety of disciplines as a means of understanding the avenues that education could use to develop innovation talent. The results of this study point to the overstated role of rewards as drivers of developing innovation talent. These findings support the idea that programs that wish to support innovation for all learners should be guided by the primacy of decisions that build confidence and fulfill interest and perceived importance of the task at hand, as well as those mitigating the costs of innovating. The implementation of promotive and cost-mitigating strategies should be a high priority for educational efforts to stoke the development of innovation talent for learners in many contexts.

加拿大创新者确定的创新期望、价值和成本：支持创新人才发展的动力基础

当前的创新研究往往孤立于特定学科，排除了有助于理解促进和阻碍个人创新动机的因素的普遍理解。本研究整合了对来自不同学科的加拿大创新者的 30 次访谈和 500 次调查的分析，作为了解教育可以用来培养创新人才的途径的一种手段。这项研究的结果表明，奖励作为培养创新人才的驱动力的作用被夸大了。这些发现支持这样一种观点，即希望支持所有学习者创新的计划应该以建立信心和满足手头任务的兴趣和感知重要性的决策为首要指导，以及降低创新成本的决策。
