Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Stipek, Deborah J.; Kowalski, Patricia S. – Journal of Educational Psychology, 1989
A study involving 110 fifth- and sixth-graders (51 male and 59 female), classified as low or high in effort orientation, assessed the effects of task- versus performance-oriented instructions on a computer-assisted test programed to ensure that all examinees failed to solve all problems. Problem-solving strategy analyses were preformed. (TJH)
