Using Existing Classroom Data to Explore Relationships in a Theoretical Model of Academic Motivation.

Corno, Lyn; Mandinach, Ellen B.

Journal of Educational Research, v77 n1 p33-42 Sep-Oct 1983

Existing classroom data were used in a preliminary test of a theoretical model of student academic motivation. Expected relationships among verbal ability, internality, self-esteem, and success were found, along with evidence that class grouping may alter them. Problems encountered using existing research for other purposes are described. (Author/PP)
