The Interaction between the Internal-External Locus of Control and Two Methods of College Instruction
Daniels, Richard L.; Stevens, James P.
American Educational Research Journal, 13, 2, 103-13, Spr 76
Subjects were classified as external or internal. About half of the externals (internals) were given a traditional method of instruction. The remaining subjects were involved in a contract grading plan. Using an achievement posttest, a strong disordinal interaction was found, with internals performing better under the contract grading plan and externals performing better under the teacher controlled method.
