Experiment using exrtinsic motivators in l3 spanish writng dr zhang finalDamaris Munoz
The document describes a study that examined the effects of intrinsic and extrinsic motivation on student performance in Spanish language classes. Two Spanish classes were given weekly writing assignments to write 60 words in 10 minutes over 6 weeks. Baseline data without motivators showed the intrinsically motivated group increased their word count by 754% while the extrinsically motivated group increased by 653%. Students exceeded their baseline most between weeks 1-5 and demonstrated lower error rates. Those who decreased in later weeks reported boredom, so their requirement was increased to 100 words. Overall, intrinsically motivated students performed better on the writing tasks by week 6.
Incentivize Replication in Economics: Can Data Journals Help?Ralf Toepfer
Ralf Toepfer presented on incentivizing replication in economics and whether data journals can help. Some key points:
1) There is a replication crisis in economics as most studies cannot be replicated.
2) Barriers to replication include low data sharing rates and a lack of incentive/reward for conducting replications.
3) While scholarly journals have published some replications, dedicated data journals may better incentivize replication by rewarding authors through citations and reputation for replication studies and data papers.
