Reynolds, 1991

Reynolds AJ. The middle schooling process: influences on science and
mathematics achievement from the longitudinal study of American youth.
Adolescence. 1991 Spring;26(101):133-58.

Motivation was weakly measured (2 questions) as "try harder in light of bad grades" and "try to do my best". Saw weak, but statistically significant, correlation with science achievement/readiness for future achievement. Classroom context was also weakly measured.
