However, many students and researchers fail to recognize the value of APA style in supporting writing excellence. In this research note we describe an innovative pedagogical approach to APA style that is rooted in self-determination theory. We provide preliminary retrospective evidence of internalization through students’ responses to questionnaire items and a student’s personal reflection.  \nLe manuel des publications de l’American Psychological Association (APA) est une ressource inestimable pour les étudiants et les professeurs en sciences sociales. Toutefois, un grand nombred’étudiants et de chercheurs ne se rendent pas compte de la valeur du style APA pour soutenirl’excellence en rédaction. Dans cette note de recherche, nous décrivons une nouvelle approche pédagogique à l’égard du style APA qui est enracinée dans la théorie de l’auto-détermination. Nous présentons des preuves préliminaires rétrospectives d’assimilation par le biais de réponses d’étudiants à un questionnaire ainsi qu’une réflexion personnelle d’étudiants.  \nKeywords  \nAPA Style, Self-determination Theory, pedagogy, basic psychological needs; Style APA, théorie del’auto-détermination, pédagogie, besoins psychologiques de base  \nCover Page Footnote  \nWe would like to acknowledge Michele Wygera-Schuster for her unwavering commitment to teach young children to write for the first time. Her tangible and visual strategies for teaching writing partly inspired the approach described herein.

All graduate students at some point agonize about writing “according to APA standards.” It seems that while most students begrudgingly try to correctly format their papers according to APA style, few of them recognize that the manual is “an authoritative source on all aspects of scholarly writing, from the ethics of duplicate publication to the word choice that best reduces bias in language”(American Psychological Association/APA, 2010, p. 3) .
