Improving the Accuracy of Self-Corrected Mathematics Homework.

Miller, Tracy L.; And Others

Journal of Educational Research, v86 n3 p184-89 Jan-Feb 1993

A study investigated the effect of reward on sixth graders' self-correction inaccuracy and monitored the effect of improved self-correction on mathematics homework achievement. There was a low baseline rate of student self-correction inaccuracy. Offering a reward for improved accuracy caused the rate of inaccuracy to decrease significantly. Homework achievement also improved. (SM)
