Improving Test scores- What we can do
Burns, J. David. “Will I do as well on the final exam as I expect? An examination of students´ expectations”. Journal of the scholarship of Teaching and Learning 8.3 (2008): 1-19. Although the article contains a lot of important and useful information for teachers, Burns is not well qualified to argue and discuss the topic since he is in the marketing business and he could not prove that students´ expectations are connected to test scores.
This article is very useful for teachers that want to increase students’ performance but finally the author did not find any relation between previous expectations and final results. The results did not work because the author just proved it in only one class, maybe his thesis could come up if Burns makes a continuous research instead of having results after just one try. Even though, the author did not obtain concrete results and certain prove that previous expectations can help students performance, the article opens a very important topic to discussion, that can be how about using previous expectations in teachers´ classes combined with interactive classes as a new methodology.
