Grade Targets and Teaching Innovations.

Allgood, Sam

Economics of Education Review, v20 n5 p485-93 Oct 2001

Develops a simple model of student choice to explain why some teaching innovations have only a negligible effect on mean student performance. If students set grade targets, some students choose to learn less (despite innovations), and the change in mean student achievement will tend to be small. (Contains 20 references.) (MLH)
