The Interaction of Assessment Format and Examinees' Perceptions of Control.
Parkes, Jay
Educational Research, v42 n2 p175-82 Sum 2000
Data from 77 ninth-grade Spanish students who took an objective test, a performance assessment, and a measure of perceptions of control indicate that control perceptions predict scores on performance assessments, not objective tests. Performance assessments thus reflect motivational variables beyond the constructs being tested. (SK)
