Goal-Setting and Learning in the High School Resource Room.

Gardner, David C.; Gardner, Paula L.

Adolescence, v13 n51 p489-93 Fall 1978

Students in a remedial resource room program were assigned spelling and vocabulary tasks under a goal-setting/no-goal-setting procedure to see if goal setting behaviors facilitate learning. Results supported Rotter's social learning theory and the use of unobtrusive goal-setting procedures in special education classes. (SJL)
