Abstract

Classroom assessments provide the faculty and the students with information that helps improve teaching effectiveness and student learning (Angelo, 1991). Prior research has found that classroom assessments have many beneficial effects on students. This study investigates the impact of regular classroom assessment on the intrinsic motivation and performance of students in upper division accounting courses. A model linking classroom assessment use to student performance is proposed. The model is tested using data from a between-subjects experiment with 265 student participants. Results show students subjected to frequent classroom assessments had significantly higher levels of self determination, overall intrinsic motivation to learn and course grades than other students. Future research areas are discussed in the paper.
