Pedersen, Susan
Journal of Interactive Learning Research, v14 n1 p51-77 2003
Examine students' motivational orientation (intrinsic/extrinsic) during problem-based learning (PBL), comparing it to their orientation during typical class activities. Participants were regular education students who used "Alien Rescue," a computer-based PBL program designed for sixth grade science. Implications of the findings for design of PBL programs are discussed. (AEF)
