Elliott, Julian; Hufton, Neil; Hildreth, Anthony; Illushin, Leonid
British Educational Research Journal, v25 n1 p75-94 Feb 1999
Reports the findings from a large-scale international investigation of the attitudes, perceptions, and orientation towards the academic activity of children. Indicates that English and U.S. children share a high degree of satisfaction with their academic performance, emphasize effort rather than ability, and paradoxically appear to have less commitment to educational endeavor.
