One hundred and seven undergraduates enrolled in a self-paced educational psychology course for students preparing to teach in secondary schools were subjects for an experimental module, "Motivating Strategies". Two groups were used: a control group and an experimental group. In the former, teaching preceded video-viewing, and in the latter, it came after the video tapes. Comparisons between the two groups showed no differences, and conclusions were that the module "Motivating Strategies" was ineffective, and that it would be difficult to obtain a modeling effect for such a complex task as motivation with video tapes collected in actual classroom settings.
