Designing the Grade as a Target to Strive For
Briefly

Grading schemes should not merely reflect academic proficiency; they should be tools to enhance motivation and promote deeper learning outcomes among students.
The traditional view of grades as direct measures of proficiency is challenged; instead, grades can be conceptualized as motivational tools that guide students toward external learning objectives.
By adopting a striving framework for assessment, educators can use grading as a means to motivate students, akin to how game designers use scoring systems to enhance the player experience.
Grades serve multiple purposes beyond reflecting performance; they can acknowledge effort, growth, and contributions to the learning environment, influencing both student motivation and learning outcomes.
