- Summary:
-
In a study of whether more student control and responsibility in the classroom would cause them to feel more positive about a task and to like their co-workers better, 57 undergraduates were asked to complete an 8 statement questionnaire on how much control they would be willing to allow others working with them. They were placed in pairs with half of the participants expecting their partners to give them high control on the task and half expecting low control. The results indicate the students offering high control were liked more, though there was no main effect for responsibility. Also, when students had low responsibility, they preferred the other person more with high control than low control conditions. They had higher expectations of themselves when given high control. Students with more classroom control are concluded to become more involved, expect more of themselves, and like the instructor and other students better. Classes with no student control or responsibility may have very little student involvement, lower expectations from students, and less liking for one another and the instructor. (SM)
