摘要

学术界担心分数膨胀会降低标准;然而,雇主担心成绩可能无法区分学生的能力。如果更高的成绩反映了学习成绩的提高,而不是通货膨胀,这些担忧就会被消除。利用德克萨斯农工大学农业与生命科学学院1985年至2019年间17696个班级的数据,研究了潜在的分数膨胀。在对学校、教师和学生特征进行控制后,发现了系统性成绩提高的证据。成绩提高的部分原因是招收了更好、更多的女学生。然而,分数膨胀可能与研究生和其他讲师的招聘增加有关。

Grade Inflation or Grade Increase
Abstract Academics worry grade inflation lowers standards; whereas, employers are concerned grades may not distinguish students’ abilities. These concerns are dismissed if higher grades reflect improved academic achievement and not inflation. Potential grade inflation is examined using data from 17,696 classes between 1985 and 2019 in the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences at Texas A&M University. Evidence of systemic grade increase is found after controlling for institution, instructor, and student characteristics. Grade increases are partially explained by recruiting better and more female students. Grade inflation, however, may be associated with increased hiring of graduate students and other instructors.
