For this study I gave my students a task "Turning forward after putting hands on a mat." The purpose of my research is to find out "effects which the confidence in the task has on their performance result and attribution factors." The summary of my research is the following:
1. Accomplishment level depending on the confidence in motor performance
To find out the difference of accomplishment level, the students were divided into three groups on accordance with the test result of confidence. The high level students were 46, the middle level students, 125, and the low level students, 38. The average score of the high level students was 109.65, that of the middle level students, 74.67 and that of the low level students was 38.71.
That result shows high correlation between confidence and performance. So a teacher's encouragement for his students to strengthen their confidence will lift up the accomplishment level in motor performance of the students.
2. Accomplishment level depending on success or failure of a performance
To find out effects the success or the failure of a performance has on accomplishment level, student; were divided into two groups; a success group and a failure group.
The result is that the accomplishment level of the success group is higher than that of the failure group. This means teacher's proper guidance for students' success in performance will bring an elevation of the students' accomplishment level.
3. Attribution factors which has effects on the success group
The following is the analysis of attribution factors which has effects on the confidence of the success group:
The relative difficulty of a task has little effect on the three groups which have different confidence in the success group of the performance.
The students' effort to the task are different between the high level group of confidence and the middle level group of confidence, also between thee high level group of confidence and the low level group of confidence. But there is no difference between the middle level group of confidence and the low level group of confidence.
The difference of the students' ability is the following:
There is difference between the high Bevel group of confidence and the low level group of confidence, also between the middle level group of confidence and the low level group of confidence. But there is no difference between the high level group of confidence and the middle level group of confidence.
Fortune has no effect on all the three groups.
4. Attribution factors which has effects on the confidence of the failure group
The relative difficulty of a task has little effect on the three groups which have difference in the success group of the performance.
The student's efforts to the task are not different from the three groups.
The studens' ability is not different from the three groups.
Fortune has on effect on all the three groups.
In conclusion, all attribution factors - relative difficulty of a task, effort, ability and fortune - has no effect on the accomplishment in the failure group of the performance. So teachers should try to develop efficient teaching method to encourage students to intensify their motive of their accomplishment.
