Adelman, Howard S.; Taylor, Linda

Learning Disability Quarterly, v6 n2 p201-06 Spr 1983

A schema for categorizing a student's inferred motivation to learn was tested with 37 students (9 to 18 years old), who had been referred because of a diagnosis of learning disability. Students were classified on three dimensions: level of motivation, degree of misbehavior, and degree of learning ability. (SW)
