Influencing University Students' Achievement and Motivation in a Technology Course.
Hancock, Dawson R.; Bray, Marty; Nason, Scott A.
Journal of Educational Research, v95 n6 p365-73 Jul-Aug 2002
Investigated the effects of professors' instructional methods and university students' conceptual levels on students' achievement and motivation in a course designed to teach computer technologies. Matching high-conceptual-level learners with student-centered instruction and low-conceptual-level learners with teacher-centered instruction enhanced students achievement and motivation. Overall, students exposed to student-centered instruction demonstrated greater motivation than did students exposed to teacher-centered instruction. (SM)
