Declining Motivation After the Transition to Middle School: Schools Can Make a Difference.
Anderman, Eric M.; Maehr, Martin L.; Midgley, Carol
Journal of Research and Development in Education, v32 n3 p131-47 Spr 1999
Investigated the effects of transitioning from elementary to middle school on the motivational beliefs of students attending two very different types of middle schools. Surveys of students at the end of grades 5, 6, and 7 indicated that while few differences existed in elementary school, students' motivational beliefs changed differently, depending on which type of middle school they attended.
