A Longitudinal Analysis of Elementary School Students' Achievement Goals in Literacy Activities.

TL;DR: Riconscente et al. as discussed by the authors explored the school-related apathy in 8th and 10th grade students and their teachers and found that while some independence exists among the set of five constructs assessed, substantial overlap is present that can inform development of a more parsimonious conceptualization of students' lack of school motivation centered on perceived relevance and a general attitude of interest.

TL;DR: A revision of the previous edition article by M. Boekaerts, volume 15, pp. 10112-10117, the authors was published in 2001, Elsevier Ltd.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the adaptation, reliability and validity of the reading motivation and reading engagement scale developed by Guthrie and Klauda (2014) and found that the scale was suitable to use, valid, and reliable.

TL;DR: In this article, the Mathematical Basis for Multiple Regression/Correlation and Identification of the Inverse Matrix Elements is presented. But it does not address the problem of missing data.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a research-based model that accounts for these patterns in terms of underlying psychological processes, and place the model in its broadest context and examine its implications for our understanding of motivational and personality processes.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examine the classroom learning environment in relation to achievement goal theory of motivation and argue for an identification of classroom structures that can contribute to a mastery orientation, a systematic analysis of these structures, and a determination of how these structures relate to each other.
