q2 i? Students who more or less strongly agreed that their teachers communicated the value of science relative to classmates showed no relation to subsequent motivational beliefs after controlling for prior beliefs. → David W. Putwain 2026

David W. Putwain, Andrea Mallaburn, Hanna Gaspard. (2026). Student perceptions of teacher messages about the value of science in the classroom. Learning and Instruction 104 (2026) 102365. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.learninstruc.2026.102365

q2 · i? · associational · r3

Null finding from the student-level (L1) paths of the ML-SEMs testing whether individual differences in receptivity to teacher value messages predicted T3 expectancy, utility value, and effort cost beyond T1 levels. No statistically significant paths were reported and no effect size was printed; equivalence was not tested.

"Perceived teacher value messages in the L1 portion of the model (i.e., students who more or less strongly agreed that their teachers communicated the value of sciences relative to their classmates) were unrelated to motivational beliefs, after controlling for their prior beliefs."

Discussion¶

Related Claims¶

• Student-level achievement and aspirations positively predict subsequent expectancy and utility value, but not effort cost — related
• Class-aggregated perceived teacher value messages positively predict students' subsequent expectancy and utility value, but not lower effort cost — related
• Perceived teacher value messages indirectly predict achievement via utility value and aspirations via expectancy and utility value — related
