Bob, who transitioned from elementary school to middle school, is likely to report feeling less academically competent and less motivated in sixth grade than he did in fifth grade. This transition can be challenging for students as they adjust to a new environment, new teachers, and new academic expectations. The other options either remained in familiar environments or had a mix of large and small classrooms that may not have as much of an impact on academic competence and motivation.
