Abstract

The article discusses the impact of motivation priming interventions on student effort in low-stakes testing environments, crucial for institutional accountability. It explores how motivational prompts can enhance student engagement and effort, particularly in assessments with no personal consequences for students. The study found that motivation priming was effective in increasing student effort, with variations in effectiveness across different gender identities, highlighting the importance of considering diverse student characteristics. The research suggests that simple, cost-effective interventions like motivation priming can significantly improve the quality of educational assessment data, supporting better decision-making and improvements in education systems.
