Grobler, Adelene A.; Knight, Mirriam R.; Lens, Willy; Lacante, Marlies – European Journal of Psychology of Education, 2014

This has important negative consequences for the individual learners, as well as for the country as a whole since it contributes greatly to the high number of unskilled and unemployed people. This study was carried out to explore whether,…

Steinmayr, Ricarda; Spinath, Birgit – Learning and Individual Differences, 2009
The present study examined to which extent different motivational concepts contribute to the prediction of school achievement among adolescent students independently from intelligence. A sample of 342 11th and 12th graders (age M = 16.94; SD = .71) was investigated. Students gave self-reports on domain-specific values, ability self-perceptions,…
