Cambridge, NY: Cambridge University Press. Covington, M.V. (1984). ¡°The self-worth theory of achievement motivation: findings and implications.¡± Elementary School Journal, 85(1), 5-20. ¡°The self-worth theory assumes that a central part of all classroom achievement is the need for students to protect their sense of worth or personal value (Covington, 1984, p. 5).¡± The basic assumption of this theory is that several factors influence a student¡¯s sense of worth, including performance level, self-estimates of ability, and the degree of effort expended.
