Keywords:
TEACHINGAbstract
With its theoretical basis in the legion of literature pertaining to the motivational importance of personal involvement in purposeful behavior, the present researcher has assumed that college student participation in planning socialized research has definite educational advantages as well as specific positive outcome in human relations development and resource development.
Atkinson (1966), Atkinson and Walker (1956), and Murphy (1944), have reported research which bring the position of social affiliation into focus. Similarly, Grosbeck (1958) has, in research pertaining to social description and configuration of motives, given emphasis to the function of these variables in achievement.
