I continually hear teachers say, "If I collect this data and don't grade the students they won't do the work or take it seriously." However, grading and scoring students as a practice has the exact opposite results—it decreases rather than increases a student's desire to do the work and take it seriously. Many of our performance evaluation and feedback structures and processes in schools create continual counterintuitive results for our students. However, as we have found, removing the cause doesn't necessarily remove the effect. Sometimes we can remove grading and the effect—a student's lack of desire to do the work—doesn't vanish with it. |
