Is the Hawthorne Effect in Educational Experiments a Chimera?
Bauernfeind, Robert H.; Olson, Carl J.
Phi Delta Kappan, 55, 4, 271-273, Dec 73
Reports on an experimental study designed to investigate the relationship between two factors commonly regarded as components of the Hawthorne Effect on pupil performance and on intellectual task. These factors are (1) direct cue, or awareness of experimentation, as represented by an announcement that pupils were the subjects of an experiment; and (2) indirect cue, or reactive arrangement, as represented by unusual attention given to the classroom.
