Abstract
This study aimed to compare task value across English, mathematics, and specialized subjects. Questionnaires were administered on positive task value, perceived cost, and lack of persistence in studying. The findings revealed that positive task value in specialized subjects significantly surpassed that in the other subjects. On the other hand, no significant differences were observed among subjects regarding cost perception. Concerning lack of persistence, English exhibited a significantly higher score. Furthermore, multiple regression analysis demonstrated that effort cost positively influenced lack of persistence for both English and mathematics, but not for specialized subjects. This suggests that effort cost plays a role in the lack of persistence in English and mathematics, with no such impact in specialized subjects.
