[ send me this essay ]
A 31 page study into the issue of student performance on standardized achievement tests. The call for increased accountability on the part of public schools intensified throughout the decade of the 1990s when educators, parents, legislators and the general public realized that increased spending on schools had not resulted in increased educational results. The result of today's regulatory requirements is that achievement test results directly affect teacher and principal employment, school choice and federal funding options, but students may not be fully motivated to do their best on "low-stake" tests for which they are not expecting a grade or other direct benefit. The study examines student motivation among 8th graders. Bibliography lists 26 sources.
