description A new conceptualization of perceived control was used to test a process model describing the contribution of these perceptions to school achievement for students in elementary school ( N = 220) . Three sets of beliefs were distinguished: (a) expectations about whether one can influence success and failure in school ( control beliefs ); (b) expectations about the strategies that are effective in producing academic outcomes; and (c) expectations about one's own capacities to execute these strategies. Correlational and path analyses were consistent with a process model which predicted that children's perceived control (self-report) influences academic performance (grades and achievement test scores) by promoting or undermining active engagement in learning activities (as reported by teachers) and that teachers positively influence children's perceived control by provision of contingency and involvement (as reported by students). These results have implications for theories of perceived control and also suggest one pathway by which teachers can enhance children's motivation in school.
