Proctors Matter: Strategies for Increasing Examinee Effort on General Education Program Assessments
TLDR
This paper propose a protocol for administering general education tests under low-stakes conditions and describe simple proctor strategies that engender effort and inhibit inattention, which may not motivate students to perform optimally if they know the test results will not represent them personally.Abstract:
General education program assessment involves low-stakes testing, but students may not be motivated to perform optimally if they know the test results will not represent them personally. We propose a protocol for administering general education tests under low-stakes conditions and describe simple proctor strategies that engender effort and inhibit inattention.read more
