The Effect of Financial Incentives on Task Attractiveness and Individual Performance

The purpose of this paper is to examine the effect of monetary incentives on unattractive task. Pre-test and post-test were conducted to examine the effect of monetary incentives on unattractive task. The data generated from University Student in Indonesia. Total 53 participant follow two stages of the experiment to do the assignment. The first stage to examine individual performance in the assignment without incentives and the second stage is the treatment group. One group with financial incentives while another group without financial incentives. The T-Test was examining to evaluate the difference between pre-test and post test result. The result shows that monetary incentives could not change people perceived of unattractive task become attractive and could not increase individual performance in unattractive task. But people that perceived the assignment as attractive, they improve the performance when there are monetary incentives. This research found that money could not shift people perception on task attractiveness.

This article provides a report on a finished piece of research. The study is divided into two stages. Firstly, the brain dominance and grammatical sensitivity of Pedagogy and Medical students in a Chilean university were measured. The correlation of both variables shows that Medical students are better at grammatical sensitivity than Pedagogy students and that left-brain dominance involves higher levels of grammatical sensitivity than right-brain dominance. The instruments used in this stage were: 1) a grammatical sensitivity pre-test (used to assess the students’ levels in this variable), 2) a brain dominance instrument (used to determine the cerebral preferences of the students) and 3) an abstract reasoning test (which measures a person’s ability to identify non numerical or verbal patterns). In the second stage, Pedagogy students underwent a five-session training aimed at improving their grammatical sensitivity. After the training was over, we administered a grammatical sensitivity post- test whose results were compared with the ones in the pre-test; the purpose was to determine if the training could improve the students’ performance in this variable. It was concluded that the training was successful since their grammatical sensitivity improved in 20%. In addition, most students with high attendance to the training (over 80%) improved their grammatical sensitivity after attending it.

Two Stages

Abstract In this paper, I investigate whether two-stage exams aid learning in undergraduate mathematics, as measured by students’ performance on subsequent exams. In a two-stage exam, students complete the exam individually then form into groups to solve it again, with grades based on a combination of the two stages. Previous research in other disciplines has found mixed results about their effect on subsequent performance, and little is known about their use in undergraduate mathematics. Here, I report on three studies which investigate the use of two-stage exams in different undergraduate mathematics contexts. The first two studies replicate observational methods from previous research, and find indications of a positive impact from group collaboration. The third study is experimental and finds that, in a delayed post-test, there is no difference in performance between students who answered related questions in a two-stage exam format and a control group which had no collaborative second stage. The findings suggest that two-stage exams may have little impact on longer-term learning of mathematics, but instructors may still wish to use them to emphasise a collaborative classroom pedagogy.

The Difference

The success of labor is influenced by several factors, namely maternal factors (power, passage, psychology), fetal factors (placenta) and helping factors. Using mirror aids in the process of progress in labor at a second time can increase maternal motivation psychologically and emotionally, this preventing and or decreasing pathological labor prevalence. The purpose of this study was determining the difference in time in mothers who had labor in the second time using a mirror and who did not use a mirror. The design of this study used True - experiment with post test only Control design, the sample of study were 40 physiologically 20 primigraphic delivery mothers who were treated, 20 were not treated and taken randomly. The purpose of this study was determining the time difference in labor mothers when second uses a mirror and does not use a mirror. Observation data collection techniques, it used unpaired T test. This research was conducted in 2018 in the Poncokusumo Malang Health Center. The results showed that labor with the help of a mirror could accelerate the second stage of labor in primigravida mothers. This is evidenced by the average time used by maternity in group I (using mirrors) is 7.05 minutes and the average time used by group II maternity women (without using a mirror) is 16.15 minute . The use of a mirror aid can be used as an instrument complement labor in order to reduce maternal morbidity and mortality in Indonesia.
