The effect of contextual pedagogical advisement and competition on middle-school students’ attitude toward mathematics using a computer-based simulation game
Richard Van Eck
Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching Vol. 25, No. 2 (April 2006) pp. 165–195
Many students enter mathematics courses with a poor attitude toward mathematics (Gal & Ginsburg, 1994), making attitude as important a consideration as achievement in mathematics (e.g., CTGV, 1992; Marsh, Cairns, Relich, Barnes, & Debus, 1984;...

The Effect of Advisement and Competition on Transfer, Advisor Use, and Attitude toward Mathematics Using a Computer-Based Simulation Game
Richard Van Eck
Annual Meeting of the American Educational Research Association 2000 (April 2000)
This study looks at the roles that competition and context of advisement play in transfer, advisor use, attitude toward mathematics, and attitude toward instruction in a computer-based simulation game that required the use of mathematics skills. It...

Reliability and factor structure of the Attitude Toward Tutoring Agent Scale (ATTAS)
Amy B. Adcock; Richard N. Van Eck
Journal of Interactive Learning Research Vol. 16, No. 2 (April 2005) pp. 195–217
Pedagogical agents are gaining acceptance as effective learning tools (Baylor & Ryu, 2003; Moreno, Mayer, Spires & Lester 2001; Moreno, 2004). The increase in the use of agents highlights the need for standardized measurements for evaluating user...
