Why Incentivize Good Grades?

What types of rewards you are considering (e.g., privileges vs. monetary) Improved academic performance : By providing a tangible

  1. Improved academic performance: By providing a tangible reward for good grades, students are motivated to work harder and achieve better academic results.
  2. Increased student engagement: Incentives can help to re-engage students who may have become disenchanted with the education system, encouraging them to participate more actively in class and develop a love for learning.
  3. Develops a growth mindset: Incentivizing good grades can help students develop a growth mindset, where they understand that their abilities can be developed through hard work and dedication.

Core tensions highlighted

  • Extrinsic vs. intrinsic motivation: External rewards (money, prizes, privileges) often produce short-term gains but can reduce long-term interest in learning when rewards replace internal satisfaction.
  • Equity and access: Incentive programs can widen gaps if students with more resources or prior advantages respond differently to rewards.
  • Measurement problems: Tying incentives to grades risks overemphasizing summative assessment and fostering grade-focused rather than mastery-focused behaviors.
  • Unintended behaviors: Students may game the system (e.g., cheating, focusing on easier assignments) if incentives are poorly aligned with learning objectives.
