Abstract

This article presents the results of a study comparing teaching styles and student motivation. Three history classes, all high school juniors, and three teachers, each with a different teaching style, were the study group participants. The author proposed assessment instruments for measuring teacher effectiveness and student motivation and, together with a paid observer, collected data over a twelve-week period to supplement the data gathered from the assessment instruments. Teacher effectiveness increased with practices that students identified as engendering interest and motivation.
