Locus of Control and Mathematics Instruction: Three Exploratory Studies.

McLeod, Douglas B.; Adams, Verna M.

Journal of Experimental Education, v49 n2 p94-99 Win 1980-81

The relationship between locus of control and three dimensions of discovery learning was investigated. Mathematics students were assigned to treatments differing in level of guidance, inductive or deductive sequencing, or use of small groups. Aptitude-treatment interaction occurred between locus of control and small-group instruction. (Author/GK)
