Tuckman, Bruce W. – Journal of Experimental Education, 1996
Two experiments involving 226 college students were conducted to determine the relative effectiveness of increasing students' incentive motivation for studying and prescribing a text-processing strategy for them to use in studying. Findings suggest that the use of students' acquired learning strategies depends on their motivational levels. (SLD)

In a study with 167 college students of the effect of adverse learning conditions on achievement, action-oriented college students performed better than state-oriented students on a lecture-based achievement test despite low-expressive instruction and prior perceived academic failure. State-oriented students also experienced more negative…

Using a national database of nearly 10,000 teachers, the dimensionality of teachers' decision participation, school climate, sense of efficacy, and job satisfaction and their relationships were explored. Dimensions of decision participation did not emerge as best predictors of teachers' sense of efficacy or job satisfaction. (SLD)

Diamond, James J. – Journal of Experimental Education, 1992
A graphic procedure is presented for studying differential item functioning (DIF) that is designed to provide diagnostic information for psychometricians and educators. The procedure provides a signature of each test item that can be used with a summary statistic to flag items with DIF. Advantages and limitations are noted. (SLD)

Chmielewski, Todd L.; Dansereau, Donald F.; Moreland, Jeremy L. – Journal of Experimental Education, 1998
The role common region (CR) plays in acquiring scientific information from node-link displays was studied by testing 88 subjects under conditions of knowledge maps demonstrating or not demonstrating CR. Field-dependent subjects scored better than the field-independent subjects for maps demonstrating CR, whereas the opposite was true for maps not…
