The Effect of Contracted Grades on Self-Efficacy and Motivation in Teacher Education Courses.
Hallinan, Peter; Danaher, Patrick
Educational Research, v36 n1 p75-82 Spr 1994
Teacher education students (n=13) who contracted for grades differentiated by specific criteria were compared on grade point average and grades contracted and achieved. Perceived control over assessment, self-efficacy, and motivation were linked. However, they were reluctant to use criterion-referenced assessment in classrooms when it was poorly valued by their universities and school districts in which they were to teach. (SK)
