Strategies for Managing the Problem of Unmotivated Examinees in Low-Stakes Testing Programs
The Journal of General Education, 2009Abstract Low examinee effort distorts low-stakes general education assessment results and thereby diminishes the validity of score-based inferences regarding what students know and can do. Several issues concerning examinee effort are noted, the research literature on examinee motivation is reviewed, and several approaches proposed for ...
