Student-oriented vesus teacher-centred: the effect of learning at workstations about birds and bird flight on cognitive achievement and motivation
Abstract: The study investigated cognitive and motivational effects of two educational interventions, a conventional versus a student-oriented approach. We monitored the impact on the cognitive achievement outcome and the motivation of students. Both approaches dealt with the subject of birds and bird flight; the student-oriented approach consisted of a unit based on workstations, the conventional one was taught in a more teacher-centred manner. 326 secondary school pupils of the highest stratification level participated in this study. By using a pre-, post- and retention-test design, both approaches were evaluated with the same empirical batteries (by applying a cognitive item set and the 'Intrinsic Motivation Inventory'). The conventional approach provided higher achievement scores whereas the student-oriented approach showed a higher motivational rating. Comparing the student-oriented approach with and without introduction, the group with introduction attained higher achievement scores. T
