Abstract
This study examines the training outcomes related to the interaction between the motivational factor of learning
goal orientation and the situational factor of practice distribution. Participants in weekly (spaced) and
residential (massed) labor education classes were assessed at the beginning of training for cognitive
ability and learning goal orientation. At the end of training, declarative knowledge and task‐specific
self‐efficacy were examined as outcomes. Contrary to expectations, it was found that individuals with high
learning goal orientation had more positive outcomes in the massed practice course than in the spaced practice
course.
