Relationship Between Affective Determinants and Achievement in Science for Seventeen-Year-Olds.
Napier, John D.; Riley, Joseph P.
Journal of Research in Science Teaching, v22 n4 p365-83 Apr 1985
Data collected in the 1976-1977 National Assessment of Educational Progress survey of 17-year-olds was used to reanalyze the hypothesis that there are affective determinants of science achievement. Results show that motivation, anxiety, student choice, and teacher support account for most of the correlation between affective determinants and achievement. (Author/JN)
