Meta-analytic data of interventions to improve test-taking effort and test performance on low-stakes educational assessments

Abstract

The data come from a meta-analysis investigating the impact of interventions for improving test-taking effort and test performance on low-stakes educational assessments. The data were collected from 53 studies that (a) used a treatment-control group design, (b) administered a low-stakes group-based educational assessment, and (c) evaluated test-taking effort and/or test performance as outcomes. In total, there are 60 and 105 effect sizes for test-taking effort and test performance, respectively, along with study, sample, and moderator characteristics.
