  • Mager and Nowalk (2012) identified 15 studies that found positive effects of participation on academic outcomes, such as improved examination results, better academic performance or higher grades, greater student progress, and better goal attainment or student learning.

    “In their literature review of student participation in school and classroom decision-making, Mager and Nowalk (2012) identified 15 studies that found positive effects of participation on academic outcomes, such as “improved examination results, better academic performance or higher grades, greater student progress, and better goal attainment or student learning” (p. 44);”
  • Mager and Nowalk (2012) conclude that too little methodologically strong research has been conducted and that low levels of evidence of better student academic achievement through participation highlight a need for more high-quality research.

    “however, the authors conclude that “too little methodologically strong research has been conducted” (p. 50), and the “low levels of evidence of better student academic achievement through participation in councils or in class decision-making” (p. 49) highlight a need for more high-quality research in this area.”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
