Effort Strategies in a Mastery Instructional System: The Quantification of Effort and the Impact of Effort on Achievement.

Grabe, Mark

Contemporary Educational Psychology, v7 n4 p327-33 Oct 1982

It was possible to demonstrate that the effort variables accounted for differences in student achievement beyond the impact of differences in student aptitude. (Author/PN)
