Influence of Instructional Structure and Locus of Control on Achievement of Preservice Elementary Science Teachers.

Horak, Willis J.; Slobodzian, Kurt A.

Journal of Research in Science Teaching, v17 n3 p213-22 May 1980

Utilizes ATI methods to study relationships between locus of control and preservice science education achievement in science content and science process under high- and low-structured instructional treatments. Findings show that, overall, a high-structure condition was most effective but that internal students achieved more in a low-structured environment. (CS)
