Reasoning (explain and elaborate) - This evidence supports the claim that students should be rewarded for good grades because it demonstrates the positive impact such rewards can have on academic performance. The study conducted by the National Bureau of Economic Research provides empirical evidence that suggests that incentivizing good grades with monetary rewards can motivate students to work harder and achieve better grades. By providing tangible incentives, students are encouraged to set academic goals, stay focused, and put in the necessary effort to achieve those goals. Moreover, the study shows that the improvement in academic performance is not just temporary but has a lasting impact, as the positive effects continue even after the rewards are no longer offered. Given these findings, it can be reasoned that rewarding students for good grades is an effective strategy to enhance their motivation, effort, and ultimately their academic success.
