Abstract | An unsuccessful attempt was made to facilitate study behavior of Athabasca University learners through instruction in behavioral methods of self-control. The general procedure consisted of providing each student with a package containing instructions and materials for the self-application of the strategies of self-monitoring and standard setting. Each package contained an introductory letter, a set of instructions, eight weekly self-monitoring forms, and a master form. The package was mailed out to 23 randomly selected students enrolled in Psychology 228. The package was later presented as part of a survival skills workshop attended by 19 Psychology 206 students. Only three students responded. Results indicated that a major problem facing implementation of self-control strategies in the distance education setting is motivating students to use them. Two alternatives were suggested: offering such strategies only to students requesting help, and providing some sort of consequence to compel students to use the package. (YLB) |
