Negative Effects of Traditional Middle Schools on Students' Motivation.

Eccles, Jacquelynne S.; And Others

Elementary School Journal, v93 n5 p553-74 May 1993

Examined the influence of school and classroom environmental factors, such as teacher discipline practices and teacher-student relations, on middle school students' motivation. Found that, compared to sixth-grade math teachers, middle school math teachers controlled students more, provided students with fewer decision-making opportunities, and felt less efficacious. (PAM)
