The central purpose of this study was to test the effects of two teaching models on student motivation and student learning. Comparison conditions consisted of a history simulation unit and a lecture-based history unit. Both units of study depicted the historical causes of World War I. Expectancy-value motivation theory provided the theoretical foundation for the study design. Negative student perceptions about history are often manifested in low motivation for learning history. Thus, motivation is believed to be a key barrier for history educators.

520 $a The central purpose of this study was to test the effects of two teaching models on student motivation and student learning. Comparison conditions consisted of a history simulation unit and a lecture-based history unit. Both units of study depicted the historical causes of World War I. Expectancy-value motivation theory provided the theoretical foundation for the study design. Negative student perceptions about history are often manifested in low motivation for learning history. Thus, motivation is believed to be a key barrier for history educators.
520 $a The subjects consisted of 196 typical 9th grade students from two moderate size public high schools in Eugene, Oregon. Participants included all students from the selected classes of three history teachers. Prior to study implementation, students were tested for group differences in motivation and causal reasoning. The data indicated no significant differences between simulation and lecture students in each of the pretests.
520 $a Posttests consisted of three assessments: Likert scale surveys used to measure student motivation, multiple-choice tests to assess knowledge of key events, and essays to test causal reasoning. Eight out of seventeen survey items revealed significant motivation differences that favored the simulation groups. The remaining nine items showed no significant differences. Simulation students reported higher intrinsic value, utility value and motivation from the unit instructional strategies. Simulation students did not report higher levels of success expectancy. Neither achievement measure showed a simulation advantage.
520 $a In summary, this study adds to the evidence that use of simulation in history instruction motivates students. Raised motivation levels, however, did not correspond to significantly higher learning for simulation students in this study.
