TL;DR: In this article, a longitudinal study examined students' control-value appraisals as antecedents of their enjoyment and boredom in mathematics, and found that control and value appraisal is critically important for the development of students' enjoyment over time.

TL;DR: This paper examined how expectancy of success, attainment value, and their interaction predict behavioural engagement and how behavioural engagement, in turn, predict achievement, and found that high attainment value diminished the compensatory role of high expectation of success.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined whether behavioural engagement mediated relations between mastery-approach and performanceapproach goals and subsequent achievement in mathematics, and found that a masteryapproach, but not a performance approach, goal predicted behavioural engagement.
