The reasoning behind the focus on is that most of concepts applied in data analyses, and hypotheses being assessed, variable-oriented. Consequently, existing will be detected through analyses based a variable-oriented perspective. Accordingly, intervention under wrongly considered to ineffective. Purpose: This contribution, therefore, argues application person-oriented addition common approach order identify an during evaluation. Setting: Both approaches showcase conducted real life setting. results two perspectives compared. Intervention: An internet supported promotion self-regulated learning academic context called Vienna E-Lecturing (VEL) . Research Design: VEL was with treatment-control-design. Data collected at beginning as well end intervention. Collection Analysis: regarding motivation factual knowledge collected. All motivational variables were assessed using previously published scales consisting 3-4 items. Factual statistics methodology tested aspects reproduction, comprehension production methodological content. Findings: perspective showed small low practical relevance. Through approach, taking into account theoretical framework intervention, three students groups which differed systematically their could identified. For these very successful. discussion provides recommendations how can used Keywords: approach; evaluation; effects; motivation;
