Description
Summary:The money has to be spent on class activities. [...]pupils can enter a European prize draw where they can win a trip to one of the other participating countries. Regarding the difference from pre-test to one month post-test, it is possible that student self-selection might explain these results, because classes from the whole country were invited to participate in the competition. [...]the control group in this study was drawn from classes that had already decided not to take part in the competition beforehand.
