Diagnosis, Remediation, and Locus of Control: Effects on Immediate and Retained Achievement and Attitudes.

Saunders-Harris, Ramona; Yeany, Russell H.

Journal of Experimental Education, v49 n4 p220-24 Sum 1981

Subjects were assessed for locus of control and experienced either: no diagnosis; diagnosis; or, diagnosis and remediation. Immediate achievement was measured twice during the experiment; retention was measured 30 days later. Findings suggest that diagnostic or diagnostic/remedial instruction is effective in increasing middle school science students' retention levels. (Author/GK)
