The study aimed to answer the following research questions: (1) Do students{\textquoteright} enjoyment, value, interest and self-efficacy expectations differ depending on the type of task? (2) Does the treatment of modelling problems in classroom instruction influence these variables? (3) Are there any differential effects for different ways of teaching modelling problems, including a “directive”, teacher-centred instruction and an “operative-strategic”, more studentcentredinstruction emphasising group work and strategic scaffolding by the teacher?The findings show that there were no differences in students{\textquoteright} enjoyment, interest, value and self-efficacy between the three types of tasks.
