Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Purpose of the Study: The purpose of this study was to.investigate the achievement effect of providing students in a college-level introductory psychology course with behavioral objectives. The non-experimental literature provides a rationale for student use of behavioral objectives (Bobbitt, 1918; Tyler, 1950; Taba, 1962; Gagne and Briggs, 1974; and Popham, 1969). A number of other authors provide logical arguments against their use (Eisner, 1967; Atkin, 1968; Ebel, 1970). The empirical studies completed show the same divergence. Some studies demonstrate a significant difference in favor of the use of behavioral objectives, while other studies do not. Specific recommendations for more effective use of behavioral objectives have been made: providing the opportunity for students to practice the objectives (Tyler, 1950), placing the objectives within a cognitive taxonomy (Bloom, 1956), and establishing in the mind of the student the association between the objecitves and the tests (Tiemann, 1968). In addition to these recommendations applicable to the learning situation itself, Scriven (1977) recommends the use of a test item pool referenced to the objectives. Melton (1978) recommends that the objectives meet the criteria of being clearly written, readable, specific as to the behavior required and of moderate difficulty. An experiment was designed incorporating these recommendations to test the following null hypotheses at [alpha] = .05. 1. There is no significant achievement difference between those students receiving behavioral objectives and those receiving placebo treatments. 2. There is no significant achievement difference between groups taught by different instructors. 3. There is no significant interaction of instructor and treatment. Procedures/Findings: Subjects for the study were 259 students whose high school grade point averages were on file with the university and who registered for and completed Psychology 201 at Oregon State University during the ten-week winter term, 1981. These students were randomly assigned to one of three treatments: behavioral objectives, weekly outlines, and study guides. Copies of these are included in the appendices. The dependent variable was a 100-item final examination constructed from the test item pool provided by the publishers of the supplemental Study Guide (Atkinson, 1979). While no validity data were available for the dependent measure, the discrimination and difficulty indices indicate that the test was of moderate difficulty and that 98 of the 100 items discriminated between high and low scorers at [alpha] = .01. The reliability score as computed by the K-R 20 was .911. The examination and item analysis data are included in the appendices. All data were collected by the investigator. Analysis of covariance (ANCOV) with high school grade point average as the covariant was used to test all three hypotheses. All three null hypotheses were retained. There were no significant differences due to treatment or instructor. Conclusions: The literature indicates that behavioral objectives may be a useful experimental method for increasing achievement when the recommendations for more effective use of behavioral objectives are incorporated into the design. Although the null hypotheses have been retained, the adjusted treatment means (69.30 for behavioral objectives, 67.67 for study guides, and 67.80 for course outlines) indicate that behavioral objectives, while increasing achievement, did not increase achievement significantly. The behavioral objectives treatment does not seem to be detrimental to student achievement.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The third edition of the Handbook of Educational Psychology is sponsored by Division 15 of the American Psychological Association. In this volume, thirty chapters address new developments in theory and research methods while honoring the legacy of the field’s past. A diverse group of recognized scholars within and outside the U.S. provide integrative reviews and critical syntheses of developments in the substantive areas of psychological inquiry in education, functional processes for learning, learner readiness and development, building knowledge and subject matter expertise, and the learning and task environment. New chapters in this edition cover topics such as learning sciences research, latent variable models, data analytics, neuropsychology, relations between emotion, motivation, and volition (EMOVO), scientific literacy, sociocultural perspectives on learning, dialogic instruction, and networked learning. Expanded treatment has been given to relevant individual differences, underlying processes, and new research on subject matter acquisition. The Handbook of Educational Psychology, Third Edition, provides an indispensable reference volume for scholars in education and the learning sciences, broadly conceived, as well as for teacher educators, practicing teachers, policy makers and the academic libraries serving these audiences. It is also appropriate for graduate level courses in educational psychology, human learning and motivation, the learning sciences, and psychological research methods in education and psychology.

This book was released on 2009 with total page 394 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this dissertation was to investigate the differential effects of goal setting and value reappraisal on female students' self-efficacy beliefs, value perceptions, exam performance and continued interest in statistics. It was hypothesized that the Enhanced Goal Setting Intervention (GS-E) would positively impact students' self-efficacy beliefs and exam performance, whereas the Enhanced Value-Reappraisal (VR-E) was expected to positively affect students' value perceptions and continued interest in learning statistics. A total of 88 female undergraduate students enrolled in two sections of an introductory statistics course completed the entire study. Students were primarily Caucasian, upper division, and traditionally aged. Students were stratified on course section and year in school and randomly assigned to one of three groups: Control Group (n=30); GS-E Group (n=27); and VR-E (n=31). GS-E asked students to both set and self-evaluate eight goals focused on reaching learning objectives for their upcoming statistics exam. VR-E presented students with messages about why learning statistics could be important for them and guided them in processing these messages. The Control Condition asked students to complete three Texas Information Literacy Tutorial modules and answer reflective questions. Findings from this dissertation partially supported the hypotheses related to VR-E, but no support was found for the hypotheses related to GS-E. The VR-E Intervention was found to positively impact measures of students' value perceptions and continued interest. Immediate effects of VR-E were observed on: 1) the overall value students placed on learning statistics; 2) students' interest and enjoyment of statistics; 3) the importance students placed on developing statistical knowledge and skills for the attainment of their future goals; and 4) students' intentions to continue learning statistics on their own. However, relatively stronger and longer-lasting effects were observed on the later two variables. Also, students in the VR-E Group outperformed students in the GS-E Group on their post-intervention exam; however, neither group was significantly different from the Control Group. Findings from this research help to address the growing economic and social needs for the development and evaluation of theory-based educational interventions that target the improvement of college students' achievement and continued interest in math and science education.
