| Summary |
"Overcoming Student Failure" explores motives and incentives for learning. The authors believe that the reasons for learning, or not learning, are greatly dependent on the kinds of incentives that prevail in the classroom. ... This book explores ways that teachers can modify classroom incentive systems, including grading methods, to encourage positive reasons for learning. The changes discussed can be implemented by individual teachers in their own classrooms, and over 25 specific activities are included that can be adapted and used for that purpose. /// This is the 5th book in American Psychological Association (APA)'s Division 15 "Psychology in the Classroom" series for elementary, middle, and high school teachers.
