The purpose of this study was to determine whether or not giving students a choice in their assignment would influence student motivation and academic success. This study was performed using a mixed research method approach. Data were collected from one class identified as a control group and a second class, labeled as the experimental group. Students in the experimental group were given a choice between two different assignments in a seventh grade math class. Student scores on homework were recorded, as well as their test scores as a means of quantifying data. The test scores and daily assignment scores proved to be inconclusive relating motivation and academic achievement to being given more ownership in the classroom. Student attitude and effort were improved as shown by the qualitative data that was collected.

Abstract: The study examines whether different kinds of choices provided in assignment for students can promote students' intrinsic motivation towards completing assignment and their learning performance in mathematics. A total of 55 primary 5 students were recruited in 2 schools for an after-school programme. The participants were randomly assigned to three treatment conditions: 1) personalization choice, 2) action choice, and 3) no-choice control condition. Results from planned contrast tests showed that provision of action choice improved students' perception of choice (autonomy) in doing assignment. However, the positive effect of personalization choice and action choice on students' perceived competence, intrinsic motivation and learning benefits cannot be concluded from the current findings. The limitations and practical implications of the study are discussed. DOI: 10.5353/th_b5156691 Subjects: Choice (Psychology) Motivation in education Academic achievement

Providing opportunities for choice has been demonstrated in past research to reduce problem behaviors, and increase on-task engagement and task performance. The current study sought to also examine the effects of within-task choice on accuracy and task duration in an academic setting. Participants were four adolescents (15-17 years old) enrolled in a remedial summer school program for Algebra 1. Using an ABAB/BABA design, results indicated that within-task choice was not an effective method for improving math scores or reducing the time it took students to complete assignments. Possible reasons for the current findings, various study limitations, and future choice-based research directions are discussed.

This action research studied the impact of student choice on assignment completion and academic achievement. The population focused on a group of 8th grade students in American History class at West Middle School in Anamos Iowa. The data sources used were assignment completion charts, pretest and posttest, and teacher journal. Students in the treatment group were given a choice of assignments to complete. Assignment completion rates of the treatment group were compared to the control group which was not given choices. Results showed assignment completion rates were higher for the treatment group.

Researchers have repeatedly found that performance-contingent and task-contingent rewards can be used to increase both math accuracy and completion rates. However, researchers have not directly compared the differential effects of these two types of reward contingencies. Although researchers have examined the differential effects of performance-contingent and task-contingent rewards on intrinsic motivation to perform an activity, this research has consistently focused on the dependent measures of self-reported interest and free-choice participation. To this point, researchers have not thoroughly investigated the differential effects of performance-and task completion-contingent rewards on academic accuracy when these contingencies are in place and after teachers remove them. Researchers also have failed to examine the differential effects of meeting or failing to meet a reward contingency on academic accuracy. To address the gaps in the past research on performance-contingent and task-contingent rewards, this study investigated the effects of different types of reward contingencies on both academic performance and interest in math. Specifically, the study attempted to answer the following questions: What are the differential effects of performance-contingent, completion-contingent, and no reward conditions on math performance when the experimental conditions are in place, in a mandatory follow-up phase, and in a choice follow-up phase? What are the differential effects of earning a reward versus failing to earn a reward on subsequent academic performance within the framework of a completion or performance contingency? What are the differential effects of receiving a reward versus no reward for high academic performance on subsequent performance under a choice follow-up condition? Students from three 4th grade classrooms and four 5th grade classrooms served as participants. Over the course of three school days, all students were exposed to three experimental conditions including performance-contingent reward, completion-contingent reward, and no reward. The order of the presentation of conditions was counterbalanced and randomly assigned to the seven participating classrooms. In each of the three experimental conditions, students were given feedback regarding the accuracy of their responding. The day before experimental procedures began, students completed a pretest of math performance (i.e., an assignment of math problems) and of self-reported interest in math (i.e., a short Likert-scale questionnaire). On each of the three experimental days, the primary researcher distributed math assignments to students in each class and informed them of the presence or absence of reward contingencies in place that day. Assignments were comprised of problems appropriate for the grade level. The fourth grade classrooms were presented with 30 two-digit by two-digit subtraction problems, each involving borrowing. The fifth grade classrooms were presented with 50 two-digit by one-digit multiplication problems.

Written specifically for teachers, this book offers a wealth of research-based principles for motivating students to learn within the realities of a classroom learning community. Its focus on motivational principles rather than motivational theorists or theories leads naturally into discussions of specific classroom strategies. Throughout the book the author focuses on and expertly synthesizes that portion of the motivational literature that is most relevant to teachers. Key features of this expanded new edition include: *Focus on School and Classroom Realities--The selection and treatment of motivational principles and strategies is constantly tied to the realities of schools (e.g., curriculum goals) and classrooms (e.g., student differences, classroom dynamics). *Integrates Intrinsic and Extrinsic Principles--The author employs an eclectic approach to motivation that shows how to effectively integrate the use of intrinsic and extrinsic strategies. *Covers Expectancy and Value-Related Topics--Full coverage is given to both the expectancy aspects of motivation (attributions, efficacy perceptions, expectations, confidence, etc) and to value-related topics (relevance, meaningfulness, application potential) and to their associated teacher-student dynamics. *New Chapters--Two theories that have spurred much education-related motivational research in recent years (self-determination theory and achievement-goal theory) have been given their own chapters. *Focus on Individual Differences and Problem Learners--Guidelines are provided for adapting motivational principles to group and individual student differences and for doing "repair work" with students who have become discouraged or disaffected learners. *Expanded Topical Coverage--Expanded coverage has been given to several emerging topics, including self-identity concepts, cross-cultural comparisons, situational interest, stereotype threat, and the rediscovery of John Dewey's motivational ideas. *Improved Pedagogy--Chapter and section introductions and summaries provide an unusual degree of continuity across the book, and its second person writing style is more reader friendly than most textbooks. New to this edition are reflection questions at the end of each chapter. This book is appropriate for any course in the undergraduate or graduate teacher education curriculum that is devoted wholly or partly to the study of student motivation.

This volume offers insights from modeling relations between teacher quality, instructional quality and student outcomes in mathematics across countries. The relations explored take the educational context, such as school climate, into account. The International Association for the Evaluation of Educational Achievement’s Trends in Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS) is the only international large-scale study possessing a design framework that enables investigation of relations between teachers, their teaching, and student outcomes in mathematics. TIMSS provides both student achievement data and contextual background data from schools, teachers, students and parents, for over 60 countries. This book makes a major contribution to the field of educational effectiveness, especially teaching effectiveness, where cross-cultural comparisons are scarce. For readers interested in teacher quality, instructional quality, and student achievement and motivation in mathematics, the comparisons across cultures, grades, and time are insightful and thought-provoking. For readers interested in methodology, the advanced analytical methods, combined with application of methods new to educational research, illustrate interesting novel directions in methodology and the secondary analysis of international large-scale assessment (ILSA).
