A Test of One Learner-Control Strategy with Students of Differing Levels of Task Persistence.

Carrier, Carol A.; Williams, Michael D.

American Educational Research Journal, v25 n2 p285-306 Sum 1988

A study of 114 sixth graders assessed the effects of a learner-control strategy involving choice of elaborative materials in a computer-based tutorial. Results of the study, which incorporated a task-persistence variable, indicate that persistence was related to performance and that learner control enhanced persistent subjects' performance. (TJH)
