The students had many project choices they could attempt. The number of projects attempted was noted for each student. A project was considered attempted if the student completed it or worked on it until the learning unit was completed. The number of projects attempted was correlated with the distance of the ring toss attempted. A Pearson Correlation was calculated. Additionally, an ANOVA was computed on the number of projects attempted by the selected ring toss distance.
The results of this study did not match the results of the original study done by Atkinson and Feather (1966). The Pearson Correlation was not significant. No relationship was found between the number of projects attempted and the distance of the ring toss attempted.
