Examined the
influence of school and classroom environmental factors, such as
teacher discipline practices and teacher-student relations, on middle
school students' motivation. Found that, compared to sixth-grade
math teachers, middle school math teachers controlled students more,
provided students with fewer decision-making opportunities, and
felt less efficacious. (PAM)
