Abstract	Research planned to improve understanding of conative educational processes and outcomes is described. Over the past year, literature reviews have been conducted aimed at defining categories of assessment of student persistence, freedom from distraction, engagement, and other school-and-work related attitudes and motivations, both as learning processes and instructional outcomes. These conative processes and outcomes are considered distinct from cognitive measures and characteristics. Study 1 will examine the attitudes of about 200 high school students using a conative questionnaire. In Study 2, about 30 students will be selected from the first study to complete additional tasks (a simulated video game and computer teaching task) and an interview. Assessments will consider action versus state orientation, mastery versus performance orientation, and mindfulness. A table lists estimated time requirements for the studies. (SLD)
