Group versus Goal-Setting Effects on the Self-Regulated Performance of Students Differing in Self-Efficacy.

Tuckman, Bruce W.

Journal of Experimental Education, v58 n4 p291-98 Sum 1990

The effects of working in groups (WIG), goal-setting, and a control condition on self-regulated performance were compared for 126 college students (prospective teachers at high, middle, and low self-efficacy levels). A strong interaction between performance condition and individual self-efficacy level surfaced. WIG only increased performance of middle self-efficacy students. (SLD)
