The Effects of the Use of Learning Contracts on Student Performance in Technology Teacher Training.
Williams, Anthony; Williams, P. John
Research in Science and Technological Education, v17 n2 p193-201 Nov 1999
Describes a process by which technology education students negotiate a contract with the teacher, then develop a plan to fulfill the contract and meet specific criteria for assessment. Concludes that this process provides a mechanism for the individualization of learning, accommodates the development of independence and self-direction, and facilitates ownership of the learning process.
